Three most important issues in your area?

I wish to see a Shire with healthy, prosperous and supported communities, people and environments.

Safe street crossings, a public pool for Bannockburn, more public open spaces, cycling and walking tracks, better parking, streetscapes and transport options… Mitigation and adaptation strategies for coming climate breakdown should be a priority… Reinstating and increasing the funding that has been stripped out of environment, tracks and trails, and numerous council strategies… Better wildlife and significant landscape protections… Provision of diverse housing and improved transport options…
