Penrith is my home. I love this City!
I have been working hard to ensure your voice is heard.
Our city is growing, and I will continue to work for you and your family:
My priority is to ensure a liveable Penrith where we:
- Make sure work is done to protect and enhance
our environment - Ensure Penrith is always welcoming, healthy,
happy, and connected - Have you voice heard when planning and shaping our growing city
- Improve connectivityaround our neighbourhoods and city
- Ensure Council leadership is ethical and always has the best interests of the community at its heart.
- Help dilute the power and alliance of the major parties in the Council Chamber.
My commitment is to be the Councillor you can rely upon, you have my word that I’ll continue to work tirelessly to make sure Penrith is a vibrant livable city.
For the last three years, I’ve been advocating for funding opportunities that will fund upgrades to our aging community neighbourhood centres, our backlog of paths and bus stop infrastructure
- Successful recommendation for a shuttle bus feasibility study and review of current local bus services.
- Submissions to public transport enquiries on behalf of residents.
- Strongly advocated to minimise rate and charges increases.
- For the last three years I’ve been listening to the concerns of residents, I’ve made over 150 formal representations on resident’s behalf. This won’t change. I am your advocate for issues that matter to you and your family.
- One of the best parts of being your councillor is that I’ve been successful in helping many residents navigate through complex council issues, this such an important part of my role to make Penrith liveable.
- My first notice of motion was to request funding for a footpath on Factory Road Regentville. Pleasingly, funding was approved this year.
- After many representations made on behalf of concerned residents, Racecourse Road is now on the list for Black spot funding.
- After representation from residents, I advocated for the small dog park at Jamison Park, I’m proud to say that it’s now fully operational and is a roaring success.
- I was successful in getting the footpath extension at Jamison Park Dog park so now the bus stop is also fully accessible.
- Fully supported the increase in funding to fix the rural drainage systems.
- I was successful to get funding for a much-needed path at Wallacia progress Hall.
