Offering 50 years of experience in agriculture and local business, to serve and benefit the community.
Edward River Council is a strong and vibrant region, but it needs clear and strong direction to truly thrive.
The need for robust educational programs to retain local youth is a priority.
We must enhance our educational facilities to keep our next generation connected to Deniliquin and surrounding areas and contribute to its future.
Economic growth is equally critical. With a 17 per cent population decline, I aim to stimulate growth across commercial, retail, industrial, and agribusiness sectors while supporting existing businesses.
Addressing housing and rental accommodation needs will also be a focus to attract new residents and ventures.
I am dedicated to strengthening our healthcare services through enhanced support for specialist care and employment opportunities.
Revitalising community facilities, such as the stadium and swim centre. I note that reviving the learn-to-swim program would benefit more than 300 children annually.
Supporting cultural projects like South West Music’s $3.7 million development and the Edward River Art Society are important goals.
Continued support of tourism is vital for our community’s economic and social health. It brings in revenue, creates jobs, and fosters local pride.
Ensuring the health of our local river is essential for agriculture, recreation, and overall well-being.
With a commitment to integrity and accountability, I am ready to work with you to secure a thriving future for our region.
