As a Local Government Councillor, I remain committed to championing the needs and visibility of our community of 11,000 plus residents. Our rural setting brings unique challenges and opportunities, and it’s essential that we engage all citizens in discussions that directly impact our daily lives, from vital services like roads and waste management to creating a sense of belonging among our residents.
I firmly believe that effective governance is about more than just administrative tasks, it’s about fostering a vibrant community where every voice is heard. By encouraging active participation and collaboration, we can strengthen connections among residents and ensure that the diverse needs of our community are addressed. This is particularly important in a small community like ours, where each person’s input can significantly shape our shared future.
Community engagement is key to building a responsive Local Government that reflects our collective aspirations. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of our local area. This includes supporting our local agriculture and small, medium and large businesses, which are vital to our economy, and ensuring they have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
As we move forward, I encourage all residents to get involved, whether it’s attending Council meetings, participating in community events, or simply sharing their thoughts and ideas. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community that not only meets the needs of today but also paves the way for a prosperous future for all of us. Let’s work collaboratively to ensure that our rural community continues to flourish.
