Three most important issues in your area?

1. To ensure the west of the shire, along with Bacchus Marsh and surrounds, still has a voice and quality representation, especially in the smaller towns and hamlets.

2. To voice to the state and federal governments the continued dissent from council and landowners of the serious landscape changes that affect many, due to the above ground high voltage transmission lines project.

3. Keep educating, informing, advocating and transparency for all residents.
