Deakin

Anastasia Hilton

Occupation: Ship Steward.

Resides: Grovedale.

How long have you lived in your ward? 21 years in Grovedale.

Community involvement: I am a regular volunteer at the Grovedale Football and Netball club and hope to continue my volunteering at other places in my ward in the future.

Associated with a political party or movement?

No, I have not. I am an independent.

Preferencing: 2nd – Joshua Haitsma and 3rd Andrew Katos.

Campaign budget? Receiving financial assistance? I am 100 per cent self funded and not receiving financial assistance from anyone.

Three most important issues in your ward? 1) Freezing rates to ease the cost of living, hard rubbish collection and reinstating tip vouchers. People, including me and my family are really struggling and any assistance would be extremely helpful to ease the stress of living in these current hard times. 2) Improve roads, free and accessible footpaths, fenced dog parks and Inclusive playgrounds. 3) Invest in local businesses, sporting and community groups including a youth mental health hub. Vote for a local for locals and a new voice in the community, that lives in the ward and wants to see things done! Let’s all make the south of the river flourish together 🙂
