Candidate for Kowan Ward
NEW LEADERSHIP
FOR A BETTER
CASEY COUNCIL
ABOUT THE CITY of CASEY
Victoria IS Australia's fastest growing state with its current population of 6 million people expected to grow to over 10 million by 2050.
The State is divided into 79 Council areas.
the city of casey is the largest of these by population, and is one of the fastest growing.
the council area is divided into 12 "wards", with one councillor representing each ward.
with 12 councillors, the casey council is also the State's largest council.
Candidate Statement
All candidates have pretty much the same good intentions in regard to what we hope to achieve if elected to Council.
The difference between us is how effective we are likely to be. Being a Councillor requires a thorough understanding of the many legal, technical, and operational ‘tram tracks’ which guide the Councillors.
My background as, initially, a qualified and experienced Civil Engineer for 15 years, then (for the past 20 years) a Barrister in the areas of building, planning and property law, will assist me in my aim to make the incoming Casey Council one which is effective and efficient, and one which achieves the expectations we all share.
I am determined to see that the new Casey Council does not repeat the errors of the past. I have been a resident of Kowan Ward for many years, and I see being a Councillor as a service to the community, not a stepping stone to higher political office.
My training and professional experience will not only ensure a strong voice for the community of Kowan Ward, but also a Council that stays on track in achieving the community’s expectations.

STATEMENT on THE Independence of Councillors
The independence of Councillors from all sources of influence is of primary importance. For that reason I do not seek, nor do I accept any donations.
