Derek Wallace<\/p>\n
Occupation: Disability support worker<\/p>\n
Resides: Mt. Duneed<\/p>\n
How long have you lived in your ward?<\/p>\n
Just under three years.<\/p>\n
Community involvement: I have been a president of primary and secondary school parent associations. Vice president of a soccer club. Served on theatre group committee.<\/p>\n
Associated with a political party or movement?<\/p>\n
I am standing as an independent. Not associated with any political party.<\/p>\n
Preferencing: Those that live in the ward.<\/p>\n
Campaign budget? Receiving financial assistance? Small budget. Approximately $500. Receiving no financial assistance.<\/p>\n
Three most important issues in your ward:<\/p>\n
1. Roads. Maintaining Council roads to a high standard. Reporting potholes, dangerous road conditions for cyclists, scooters and cars. Also keen to do an electric vehicle display with all the car brands. 2. Personal safety. This could be enough street lighting . Helping to make women feel safe in the community and not getting attacked. 3. Mental health. I want to make an impact on people that are lonely in our community. Thinking of pushing for small street parties where neighbours can meet people in their street. These people might be owners, renters, students. Street would need to be safe enough to do this and not a main road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
