If you\u2019re sick of high rates and the nanny state, then I am your candidate.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Barker says that as a sky-diving instructor, he knows how to manage risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Barker also feels that Surf Coast residents have been leading environmental awareness and action and says he is keenly aware of these issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Barker says there are a number of reasons he is with the Liberal Democrats, but its largely due to their stance on lowering taxation and limiting the invasiveness of government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is the principles of liberty that guide my decision-making, so when you vote for me in this by-election, you know I will be your voice for spending restraint and greater transparency of council activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/Tony-Revell-e1565761399508.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tony Revell <\/strong>is looking to balance addressing concerns about the community and environment, while still ensuring healthy economic performance.<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He describes his approach as being \u201csensibly progressive\u201d. \u201cMy platform is for a sensibly progressive future and, as an independent candidate, I will apply the skills and experience required to champion the concerns of the people of Anglesea and Aireys Inlet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Revell believes his experiences in running businesses and having been a member of a school council provide him with the right knowledge to be a Surf Coast Shire councillor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a volunteer CFA firefighter, administrator of the Anglesea Community Rock Choir and a regular with the Anglesea Cycling Club, Mr Revell is an active member within the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He sees the main issues Anglesea and Aireys Inlet face as maintaining the unique character of the area, protecting the environment, economic prosperity through supporting local businesses, appropriately using Alcoa sites, and the wellbeing and quality of life of the residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Revell says these issues are unique to the area and that the people of the ward would then best be served by electing a local resident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy operating style is to consult and listen.

the ones that will benefit the generations to come.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having two children, both having attended Anglesea Primary School, Mr Arnold is particularly mindful of these future generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He feels that having his children attend the school has given him a great insight into the community\u2019s concerns and wants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Arnold says the day to day issues are extremely important, due to their long-term impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also says, \u201cAnglesea needs a strong voice in council that will make sure we, as a community are heard\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a prominent voiceover artist, and co-owner of Realtime Casting, the first online casting platform showcasing professional voice actors to businesses and producers, Mr Arnold feels he has this strong voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

Marshall has recently been leading the Surf Coast Climate Emergency Declaration campaign and was previously involved in campaigning for Independent Candidate Damien Cole at the recent federal election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She says her experiences campaigning have left her annoyed with those in charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s both frustrating and unjust that so many of those who are elected as community representatives, put in little to no effort to genuinely try to represent the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not one to complain about something unless I\u2019m actively doing something to change it, so I decided to nominate to become the community representative that I and many others want to see.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms Marshall has a Certificate IV in Disability Studies and is currently studying commerce at Deakin University in Geelong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She believes in a triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental prosperity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a

Edna Bowman was one of Anglesea\u2019s early environmentalists, and he says her legacy has had an impact on him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI grew up surfing our incredible coast and hearing stories about Edna lying down in front of bulldozers back when they cleared the land for the Alcoa power station.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet in addition to his heritage, Mr Rosson says his training in economics and finance means he is well equipped for the area\u2019s most pressing issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday, our magnificent coastal region faces its biggest challenges ever; from climate change, population pressures, pollution, threats to biodiversity and the continued threat of ill-advised oil and gas exploration.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Rosson says he will advocate local action on climate change, such as meaningful renewable targets, and supporting community action to future proof the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Mr Rosson says he will put community interests and sustainability first when considering new developments, and will also explore options of waste management, regional tree planting initiatives, and renewable energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Rosson also says that \u201cas a
