What\u2019s your involvement with the community? I am a Mother of two teenage daughters. I have been part of our vibrant, evolving Surf Coast Community for over forty years. My younger years were spent kicking sand as a Nipper in the Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Family. My connection to our irreplaceable and quintessentially unique coastal home has been an ongoing love affair now firmly grounded on a rural farm in Freshwater Creek. We are hobby farmers with interests in maintaining pastures, running cattle, establishing an organic fruit orchard and horses. Our family made the permanent move to the Surf Coast over five years ago, during this time I have been part of several high-profile planning applications and worked alongside councillors, council officers and council enforcement in various capacities.<\/p>\n

Central to living in one of the most desirable landscapes on the planet is the importance of being sensitive to the growth and development of our shire. Working together to preserve the lifestyle and well-being of our community is essential. This requires implementing future planning that is sustainable, balanced and compassionate to the growing needs of our community whilst protecting our most valuable asset, the natural world. Our environment is the life, blood and lungs of our health and our wealth. I am passionate in advocating that growing together with a considered footprint that preserves the life force of our vitality gives us the keys to prosper, thrive and live in harmony alongside our natural world.<\/p>\n

Winchelsea Tea Rooms – an important and historical building is lying empty and unused. Ex-BP Servo, Geelong-side of Winchelsea – an eyesore that needs dealing with. Rubbish \u2013 reduce, reuse, recycle. Waste is expensive, and last year’s kerfuffle has made it more so. There are solutions out there. Community activities – getting people out and about, engaging with each other, joining in with their local community. Technology – keep up the drive to use technology to make Council more efficient, quicker, easier, more responsive, more convenient. Economic development – these next few years are going to be difficult. We need to plan for recovery, across the Surf Coast Shire. It’s not all about tourism. Planning controls – we don’t seem to have\u00a0control and power over construction and property development. That needs fixing.<\/p>\n
