My vision for Glenorchy

Roads, footpaths, potholes, rubbish, parks, public spaces and responsible rates remain at the heart of local government.

Continue working with police and the community, further activating the Youth Hub, improving CCTV, cleaning up graffiti and vandalism quickly, and keeping our streets and public spaces clean and welcoming.

Glenorchy needs vision and effective leadership to manage the challenging years ahead. I have shown I can provide this.

Glenorchy needs more housing and a range of homes for young people, families, workers and older residents, supported by good planning and infrastructure.

 Maintain careful financial management, keep pressure on costs, and make sure Council continues investing in essential services and infrastructure while providing value for ratepayers.

Always encouraging and lobbying for appropriate investment from the State and Australian Government to bring new businesses, accommodation, jobs and opportunities into Glenorchy.

 Support the Youth Hub and expand pathways into education, training, sport, recreation and local employment so young people have more opportunities to participate and build their future in Glenorchy. 

Create and support welcoming spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together, including young people, older residents and our multicultural communities. I want more opportunities for festivals, craft groups, community meetings, cultural activities and simple places to meet, connect and belong.

Keep improving parks and open spaces, planting trees and protecting our natural environment, while expanding practical initiatives such as electric vehicles, solar power, recycling and better waste management.
