When I was first elected to Council, I promised we’d do things differently. Like so many others across our municipality, I love our community – but I know we can do better; we must do better.
In addition to advocating for community support whilst we work to recover from the negative repercussions brought on by Covid-19, I am making sure to always prioritise the feedback I am getting from locals about what’s most important to them.
Parks. Open space. Community safety. Traffic management. Supporting local sporting clubs and community groups. Working with our youth in a positive way.
These are the issues which drove me to put my hand up to represent our community. As a local mum with two boys, an SES volunteer, and a teacher at our local school, I know that Noble Park North residents want authentic representation from someone who is responsive, passionate and driven.
In the short time since being sworn in to Council I’ve met with residents, listened to the concerns of local sporting groups and businesses and endeavoured to act on their behalf. Being a Councillor has to always be about putting our community first - and that’s what I intend on doing consistently.
There is much more to do but there are promising signs already. We’re getting traffic management up to speed across the municipality, working to get upgrades to local parks and reserves that our residents and sporting clubs so direly need, putting community safety first and advocating for a Dandenong Stadium in the wake of Melbourne City FC relocating to the south-east. This is only a snippet of the king list of goals we hope to achieve in our suburbs in the coming years.
As always, thank you to the community of Noble Park North for placing your trust in our positive vision. Together, let’s keep working to change our community for the better.
