Here are my intentions and focuses for 2025.

• Advancing Key Infrastructure Projects

Cr Kate Milton
At the start of every year, I remind myself to be kind and respectful to all people regardless of who they are.
I have to remind myself because with our ever-changing busy lives we sometimes get caught up in our own little world and forget about others.
To remember to be kind because you don’t know what is happening in other people’s lives and sometimes just a smile or a kind word can make all the difference.
To remember to be respectful because everyone deserves to be treated respectfully regardless of their behaviour, sometimes being respectful to others can also encourage them to do the same.
