BELLARINE VOTES

I was born and raised in Geelong and I have lived my life in the Geelong region.
I have been married for 37 years and I have two adult children.
I am a Bellarine Landcare member, and a member of Geelong wine-growers association. I have rural and sporting interests and live in Wallington. I have worked for 40 years both in engineering, and now for business development, for several international companies.
If you honour me with your vote, I promise to act with integrity and without bias – I will always be available to listen to community and personal concerns. I will provide you with strong, efficient leadership within the council, ensuring complete transparency and accountability through any decision-making process.
My key visions for council:
* A safe, healthy community environment.
* Developing non-invasive transport networks. Better roads for all, including smaller rural populations.
* Sensible, strategic planning for urban growth.
* Environmental sustainability – conservation of our beautiful wetlands, beaches and waterways.
* Maintenance/upgrading of all basic services, to all towns.
* Strong community cohesion through improved social networking and education.
* Tourism that will positively impact our community.
I am a new face nominating for council with fresh ideas; like you I want to see an impartial council that will continue to provide for the best interests of our wonderful community.
