Key focus areas
Since being elected I've pushed the city to develop a new Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan (CSCPP). Restoring focus back on security services and ensuring we have the right CCTV technology to deter crime.
I will continue to seek solutions that improve response times make it easier for you to use.
This intersection is an ongoing concern in our community. Which is why I’ve prioritised a focussed traffic study; working together with Main Roads there will soon be a solution that better protects motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike.
In August I guided Council to stop a previous decision plan for mandatory bin downsizing (from 240L to 140L) which would penalise families in Morley and Noranda, where there are the least amount of single person households. This simply wasn’t good enough, you deserve choice.
The Noranda Nursery redevelopment is still on hold. Despite efforts to encourage a quality redevelopment in our community. The site remains vacant as a recent approval for a childcare centre on the southern section has been put on hold.
My wife and I love living in the City of Bayswater; we invested in our first home here and we’ve chosen to raise our three young children here.
I’ve been actively involved in making our community and neighbourhood a better place for everyone. I volunteer with groups such as Morley Windmills Sports Club, Central Aquatic Swimming Club, various town teams and served as the Chair of the City of Bayswater’s Skate and Bike Development Committee. I also enjoy volunteering with the many planting days across our district.
I’ve built a successful career improving some of Australia’s leading resources companies, building expertise in project management, process improvement, financial management and asset management.
Since being elected in 2021 my community experience and professional skills have come together as I represent you, on Council.
