I have worked for businesses in Anglesea and Aireys, consulted on projects for the Surf Coast Shire Council, Vic Roads and local tourism groups. \u00a0I run the Aireys Inlet Market with a commitment to local makers and growers. I read with our local bookclub and sing with the Aireys choir (but not currently!). \u00a0My children have played basketball and soccer with Surf Coast, footy with Anglesea and tennis in Aireys.

We must help prepare communities for increased bushfire risk; seek out innovative ways to support small business through COVID recovery and lobby for authentic community consultation on key issues, particularly in relation to future use of Alcoa site and proposed Bells viewing platform. Strong and transparent leadership is needed to advocate for issues important to our community and to demand better outcomes. \u00a0First and foremost, we must appoint a CEO who will help realise the vision of the new council, then develop a strategic plan that delivers this.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43299\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43299\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Tony-Revell-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Tony-Revell-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Tony-Revell-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Tony-Revell-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Tony-Revell.jpg 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tony Revell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Tony Revell<\/h3>\n<p>Occupation: Councillor, Surf Coast Shire.

Self funded, approx. $700<\/p>\n<p>Are you receiving financial support? No<\/p>\n<p>What are the most important issues in your ward? The CEO appointment is the most urgent issue facing Council; appointment of an organisational leader with the right skills and expertise will set up Council for success into the future.<br \/>\nLocal livability: It\u2019s taken a pandemic for us to recognise the value of a strong local economy \u2013 the traders and tradies that keep our local wheels turning and of friends and local support networks. The interconnection between livability \u2013 access to the goods and services we need, a connected supportive community and our unique natural environment has never been more stark. I will advocate to Council that these three pillars form a critical part of all decision making. I will support Councils continued efforts in Climate change mitigation and waste reduction strategies.<br \/>\nVisitation pressures: Many of us relocated here because of our time as a visitor, so we know the importance of local amenity and environment. Visitation must be actively and thoughtfully managed to preserve what we\u2019ve got, so that it\u2019s not ruined for visitors and locals alike \u2013 this applies equally to proposals like Eden and any neighbourhood projects. We have to get the balance right.<br \/>\nPeople &amp; nature:\u00a0 As a leader of the Anglesea KAOS (Kids Adventure Outdoors Festival) I\u2018ve seen the mental health and wellbeing benefits when not only children, but all age groups, develop a love of nature by being able to meaningfully engaged with it. A love of nature fosters ambassadors for the protection of our planet. I will work with Council to enhance opportunities for environmental wellbeing partnerships.<br \/>\nAlthough campaign time is about the individual candidate, once elected you must be able to collaborate with other councillors to achieve outcomes. This is one of my strengths &#8211; a collaborative\u00a0leadership\u00a0style, which brings people together\u00a0to work and achieve. Combined with governance, compliance and corporate expertise, I have well rounded experience to bring to the role.\u00a0 I\u2019ve honed these skills through consistent commitment and hard work, here in\u00a0this community, over a long period of time. I walk my talk.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43301\" style=\"width: 207px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43301\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-707x1024.jpg 707w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-768x1113.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-1060x1536.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-1414x2048.jpg 1414w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Mike-Bodsworth_-2-scaled.jpg 1767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Bodsworth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Mike Bodsworth<\/h3>\n<p>Occupation: I\u2019m a Landscape Architect and planner by profession, but currently a house-dad, supporting my small-business-owning wife.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you live?

Eight years at GORCC brought me into contact with a wide range of individuals and groups in the local community, spanning conservation, recreation, tourism, community groups, sporting clubs, Aboriginal groups, local schools, other public agencies and more. A very rewarding, community-focused job.\u00a0<\/span>I settled in Anglesea with Isabelle in 2006 and joined the Anglesea Bike Park Committee of Management.\u00a0 I\u2019ve chaired it for almost ten years. Our kids have grown up here, so we\u2019ve been involved at kinder and school. I\u2019ve also done hooded plover monitoring, weed control, track care and mountain-bike advocacy.\u00a0I love volunteering at the Anglesea Tip resale shed!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your political allegiance?

We need to stay positive; people are gagging to get back here.<br \/>\n<\/span>Protection of the natural, unspoiled character of our coast and hinterland. Previous generations resisted overdevelopment; now it\u2019s our turn. I\u2019ve been involved in every stage of planning for \u2018Anglesea After Alcoa\u2019 and I see vested interests queueing up, not to enhance this special place but to exploit it. Our unspoiled character, once lost, can\u2019t be regained. That character is at the heart of our quality of life and our visitor economy.<br \/>\nLocal communities have required Freedom of Information laws to access information of public interest, relating to Bells Beach and DELWP\u2019s \u2018Anglesea Futures\u2019 project. That points to a breakdown in transparency and respect for community. Data obtained via FOI indicates 70-80% community opposition to \u2018Anglesea Futures\u2019 development proposals. Talk of \u2018resilience\u2019 and \u2018community empowerment\u2019 is hollow when community views are overridden by powerful corporate and government interests.<br \/>\nOther issues include housing availability, wildfire preparedness, demographic trends (e.g. Covid-triggered population increase), public transport availability, Council responsiveness (or not) to Community vision, goals and aspirations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43302\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43302\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Liz-Wood-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Liz-Wood-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Liz-Wood-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Liz-Wood-768x1076.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Liz-Wood.jpg 914w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liz Wood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Liz Wood<\/h3>\n<p>Occupation: Social and urban planner<\/p>\n<p>Where do you live?

I\u2019ve heard about both long term and immediate issues. Managing through COVID recovery and the upcoming summer are widespread community concerns.\u00a0 Bushfire preparedness is an issue along with maintaining community health and wellbeing. A COVID lens must continue to be applied to many aspects of our lives. I\u2019m hearing that people are deeply concerned about the Eden Project and it is a very divisive community issue.\u00a0 While Eden promises much, key questions must be answered and a greater level of community support is required if it is to succeed.<br \/>\nPeople understand that our natural environment is what makes our towns special places to live and visit. The impact of tourism and development must not compromise our natural environment any further.\u00a0 People want greater protection of indigenous flora and fauna (especially the hooded plover). People are deeply concerned about the Climate Emergency and its impacts, the establishment of the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority, inappropriate development, the need for greater local input into decision-making and local government transparency. Young people want improved recognition of and relationships with traditional owners, and improvement in our recycling efforts.\u00a0 Traders have raised their concerns about the financial impact of markets on local businesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Libby\u00a0Stapleton Occupation: \u00a0Self-employed PR Consultant &amp; operator of Aireys Inlet Market Resides in: \u00a0Aireys Inlet How long in ward: 18 years Community involvement: \u00a0I am immersed in community life. \u00a0Having raised three children in Aireys, I served many years as committee member for Anglesea Kindergarten, then Aireys Inlet Primary Parents &amp; Friends, and School Council.
