My principal place of residence is in the Heathcote Ward area. I am also standing for Heathcote Ward of the Linwood-Central- Heathcote Community Board.
As your Community Board representative I have a proven track record representing residents. I ask the hard questions, seek accountability and rock the council's boat on your behalf. This is a defining election. Ratepayers are losing faith with council and they want a change of culture and greater accountability. Rates are projected to rise by over fifty two percent by 2028. This is not sustainable. My focus includes rates that increases no more than inflation, water quality and supply, climate change policy that has at its heart the people, financial accountability to ratepayers, improved infrastructure and community based decision making processes. New business strategies and innovations must be implemented and we need to rethink the role of Council. The primary function of council must be to provide basic infrastructure. I am decisive, determined and dependable and I will represent all Heathcote residents with enthusiasm. Better councils do make better communities.
