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.

  • 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.

We’re developing a Creek Care Guide to provide information to our residents encouraging and supporting the healthy management of Penrith's waterways — and we want your input!

What do you see as the most pressing issues regarding waterway health and management? What issues are you facing on your property? What changes have you noticed over time in Penrith's waterways? We want to know so we can make sure we’re putting the right information into our guide that will benefit the community and the environment.

Maintaining the health of our waterways is vitally important, as our waterways nourish entire ecosystems. Not only do they provide essential resources and habitat for both aquatic and terrestrial organisms, but they provide us with drinking water and a place for recreation, relaxation and to enjoy activities on the water.

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Fill in our short survey at https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=vjXeNLuQnEKBVLZDfkBr0k0aW_wsjlhMgEgiw0mz4h1UMUQ3V1NVS1gzTFFSREwwSkkxMTBHVENMVCQlQCN0PWcu

Survey closes Sunday 3 November.

It is estimated that 300,000 bicycles end up in landfill every year in Australia. Instead of discarding bikes, e-bikes and scooters in a bulky waste clean-up, consider dropping them off at Council’s free Bike Drop-off and Repair Event to give old rides a new life.

There may be up to 14 million tyres and tubes on unused bicycles in Australian garages, verandas and sheds; that’s 10,000 tonnes of material. Unrepairable donated bikes will be dismantled, with parts reused for playground equipment, bike lanes, and asphalt.

Repairable donated bikes will go to underprivileged children through charities such as Tribal Warrior Aboriginal Corp in Inner Sydney, and kids in disadvantaged communities in Shoalhaven, Gippsland, the Hunter Valley, and outback Queensland.
