Councillor Profile

As your Councillor, I hope to ensure ratepayers in our City get the best level of services possible, while supporting transparency and accountability. Providing new opportunities locally for our young people through employment and training, and building a stronger sense of community is one of my priorities for the coming term. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Laws while volunteering locally. 

Water Gully Ward update

It’s been exciting to see the beautification works on Grand Junction Road taking shape, bringing wider footpaths and an improved streetscape to one of our Ward’s key community centres. 

Continuing this work to other areas of our main roads in Water Gully Ward will go a long way to helping showcase our Ward’s natural beauty.

After an extended closure due to an infestation of a destructive pest, Council has restored and reopened the much-loved BMX jumps at Elliston Reserve. While the Reserve lost almost all its tree canopy due to Government pest removal, Council is actively working with the

Government to create plans to revegetate the Reserve and we look forward to engaging with the community to make Elliston Reserve better than ever.

As always, we are always available to assist with any concerns or queries and encourage residents to speak to us over the coming months as Council produces next year’s Annual Business Plan.
