IF elected, I will work hard for you and I will listen, consult and act.<\/p>\n
I am lucky to have been raised on the Bellarine, to appreciate its unique rural and coastal qualities, while being able to access Geelong\u2019s urban facilities.<\/p>\n
I keep fit by cycling, and swim in the summer blue-water events.<\/p>\n
As a prospective councillor, I offer experience, teamwork and reliability along with a fresh, independent, consultative style.<\/p>\n
I always rely on best ethical practices and will apply social, business and scientific criteria to decision making.<\/p>\n
Solutions should always be fair and durable.<\/p>\n
We need to develop an Integrated Bellarine Business Plan, which will foster business confidence and an energetic, creative spirit.<\/p>\n
It is vital to have sustainable and carefully planned housing, industrial and recreational development, while ensuring rural and natural assets are enhanced.<\/p>\n
In the City of Greater Geelong\u2019s \u201cOur Futures\u201d consultation I also energetically advocated improved social, cultural and lifestyle amenities; better youth employment and re-education opportunities, and improved public transport and revitalised agricultural markets. I studied engineering at the Gordon and international relations at Deakin.<\/p>\n
My recent professional career of more than 20 years was in the humanitarian space, leading large development and disaster recovery programs.<\/p>\n
Now beef farming in Marcus Hill, my wife and I have also undertaken a revegetation project on Yarram creek. I am President of Bellarine Landcare Group Inc. and am also active in the community restoration of the Mannerim Memorial, maintenance of the Rail Trail and support for the CFA.<\/p>\n
