Glen Eira is a desirable place to live, many are born and raised here, and many like me have chosen to move here. There is a strong community spirit, seen in our sports, arts and small business traders, and the attraction of many visitors reflects this. I’m motivated to stand on the ballot in this election as I see our cost of living rise, rates and fees increasing, costs to do business and build here increasing, and these costs take away from our enjoyment of living in Glen Eira. As a libertarian, I stand for a council that respects your property rights, provides efficient, high quality services without losing focus on the basics we expect: maintaining our roads, managing waste responsibly, and staying within its remit. As your councillor for Murrumbeena, I will advocate for capped rates, oppose increases, and propose measures to limit spending. I would see council remove itself from social causes of the day and focus on sustainable development, limit the interference in planning and permit approvals, support our small businesses, and rejuvenate our public spaces. We love our Murrumbeena village, I will work to make living here better.
