BELLARINE VOTES
I’ve been a resident of the Bellarine Peninsula for over 45 years.
My family have roots on the Bellarine Peninsula since 1857. I have a great respect for the region and I feel I can serve as an effective councillor. I am not, and never have been, a member of any political party, at have no intention of becoming one.
I strongly believe in independent representation for all residents of the Bellarine Ward. Party politics has no place in local government. As a councillor I would place the highest priority in consultation with community organisations, business groups, rural communities, conservation groups and individuals who can provide input into the needs and aspirations of our community.
The successful functioning of the City of Greater Geelong relies on collaboration with its ratepayers.
Previous experience has enabled me to create effective relationship with officers of the City of Greater Geelong.
I strongly believe that effective strategic planning is essential in the development of all aspects of residential, rural and business activities.
Bellarine Ward has its own unique character, needs and aspirations, especially in areas of the environment demographic nature and business expansion.
Consideration must be given to services for youth, aged care and, especially, transport – a particular concern of all on the peninsula. A light rail system might be worthy of investigation.
In collaboration with other councillors I believe I can be part of a strong voice for all Bellarine Ward residents.
