As your Councillor, this is what I will advocate for us:

• Relief for those who need it and a better return on your investment in council rates
• Improving the fairness and availability of parking in your area
• Increasing the availability of childcare and kinder places for young families
• Enhancing aged care services to include IT skills training and visitation programs to combat loneliness among the elderly
• Grants and ongoing support for small businesses affected by the pandemic including resources to fast track new hospitality trading permits
• Increasing tourism to Darebin benefiting local traders, through new exhibitions, events, markets and festivals
• Upgrading walking and bike paths with solar lighting, bike repair and water stations
• Upgrading parks and playgrounds with better play and exercise equipment, water and sanitary facilities
• Affordable housing, appropriate and sustainable development

Projects I will pursue for the northern part of Darebin include:

• Rapid delivery of the Metropolitan Rail Loop
• A new library service for Kingsbury/Bundoora
• Upgrading Reservoir Leisure Centre
• Saving Strathallan Open Space
• A new boat house at Edwardes Lake
• Cleaning Edwardes lake enabling water activity
• A urgent fire safety and flood safety plan for Springthorpe Estate
• Drainage upgrades to flood prone areas

I will also be an advocate for increased communication between Constituents and Councillors using technology and other forums as best as possible given the restrictions we are current facing.
