Why you should vote for us
"The real test for this election is not the identification of the Shire's problems but delivering real solutions.
Our community feels the pressure from tourism second only to Sydney - the inadequate public transport and infrastructure, lack of affordable accommodation, a reliance on community organisations poorly supported by the Council to manage the social problems of domestic violence, homelessness and mental health issues, the losing battle to maintain both our natural environment and our character to name a few.
What we need, and what my team and I can deliver, is a proven ability to powerfully advocate for community interests at all levels of government, along with unparalleled experience in local government planning, infrastructure management, and financing.
And instead of focusing on the issues that are divisive and outside the powers of the Council we will be drawing on our community's creative and innovative skills to do this in a collaborative and transparent way."
