Fair and equitable council decision making


Over half of the residents of the current Eacham Shire live outside the towns. This means that there is huge numbers of families and people who have to continually use their cars to get anywhere. If there were a structured system of bikeways and walkways, people could choose to leave their cars in the garage and ride into town, or to their friends place. A dad from out towards Lake Eacham explained that it is the safety of riding on the roads that worries him. It is so necessary on many fronts to have safe walk/ bikeways around our towns.

As your elected councillor I will fiercely promote fair and equitable council decision making for all division 3 communities. The new Tablelands Regional Council will need a strong united vision, supported by clear thinking strategies and action plans. We need intelligent considered decisions on matters that council is directly responsible for like local roads, water, sewerage, rubbish, parks, public spaces and halls.
