I have over three decades of experience as an engineer, and the ability to generate permanent solutions to local problems. I believe in preserving and improving our neighbourhoods, cutting wasteful spending, keeping rates low, and fixing the things that matter. If elected, I will focus on; reducing flood risk, ending the congestion on Lake Road, and preventing crime.  The Council’s preparedness for the 2023 floods was pathetic, and many residents paid dearly for this. I will fight for long-term solutions. The roading congestion is ridiculous. I will champion more intelligent traffic strategies that bring roads, buses and ferries into one cohesive system. We have too many victims of crime. I will push for a return to community policing and better crime prevention.
