Why I'm standing

I believe time and again, ratepayers have been let down with higher rates, more bureaucracy and wasteful projects, while core services are neglected. It's time to give council a wake-up call and get back to basics – safe streets, working infrastructure and value for money.

About me

I understand the pressures families and businesses face from rising costs and poor council performance. My focus is simple: keep rates affordable, protect core services like roads, water and rubbish, and restore transparency so every dollar can be tracked. As your ACT local candidate, I will provide disciplined, accountable leadership that puts residents first.

My priorities
  1. Cut waste and keep rates low by focusing council on essentials only.
  2. Fix basics including roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
