I want to thank all the good people of this community

This is a time of transformational change for our region, and by now, the Tablelands Regional Council will be a reality. You will have chosen a new Mayor and divisional Councillor to represent you as a fresh future is shaped for a united Tablelands region.

I want to thank all the good people of this community who showed faith in my ability to be your representative and voted for me. The election campaign period was a very busy time, a great learning curve. I enjoyed getting around the area meeting new people, and catching up with many people I hadn’t seen for ages. I had so much fun – I love great conversations about things that really matter.

Some of the most special people I have ever met live here in this community. Each town, village and district has its own complex interconnections that make it work. This is truly a special region, and the people have the passion, ideas and combined knowledge to make this a vibrant healthy and prosperous community.

“It’s about community…”

The Tablelands Regional Council becomes a reality this weekend. This is a time of transformational change for our region.

My catchphrase is “It’s about community”
- Local government is not about the candidates
- It’s not about politics
- It’s about you

Whoever you choose to represent you, you need to understand that
- You are the people with the passion
- You are the people with the ideas
- You are the people with the combined knowledge to make this a vibrant, healthy and prosperous rural community.

As a natural facilitator, I am not biased towards any particular group. I like to stay open to understanding each person and each stakeholder group.

As a scientist I am a natural researcher. I have a particular interest in people and the complex interconnections that make a community work.

As your councilor l need the community to keep me grounded. I will seek both advice and aid from you. As we move into the new supercouncil – I want you to be my grounders – give me the straight talk – keep it real.

I really hope you give me the opportunity to be your representative, your councilor as we shape the future of this community together.
