Key Issues

Councils manage a diverse range of community issues, from rubbish and waste management to fire and flood mitigation, from managing our wild places to providing urban infrastructure. I believe that communities, transport and recreation are three key areas of council business that impact on our everyday lives. Well thought out facilities in each domain will make your life easier, happier and healthier. See the sections below for more detailed positions.
