Why I'm standing

I was a strong supporter for the South Community Board and am standing to try and use my experience to make it a success.

About me

I have a long history of involvement in local NGOs and an excellent knowledge of local government governance and experience in governance support. I also have good financial skills and getting good results from limited resources.

My priorities
  1. Provide the playground at the Village Green.
  2. Confirm a site for a dog park and bring funding forward in the long-term plan for this.
  3. Reduce debt levels for the board currently at $1.6 million.
