Why I'm standing
I'm running because I genuinely enjoy working alongside our community, advocating for residents, and helping find practical solutions. I have no personal agenda—my focus is on serving the community effectively. I'm committed to making sure our collective voice is heard and to working collaboratively to create real, lasting improvements that serve our current and future generations.
About me
I bring six years of experience as a board member and chair, with a strong track record of listening to and working alongside our community. I'm committed to finding logical solutions and follow through on every task with dedication. My deep local connections help me understand diverse perspectives, and I'm driven by a genuine desire to serve, ensuring every voice is heard and respected in decision-making.
My priorities
- Deliver essential services and infrastructure efficiently and with fiscal responsibility.
- Action on localised flooding using local knowledge and research to support larger-scale projects.
- Advocate for safer roads and intersections, especially at high-risk local spots along Tram Road.
