Who Am I?

I’m a 34-year-old local Town of Gawler resident and a Councillor serving my second term on the Gawler Council – we do not currently have wards, so I represent residents across the entire Council area.

Alongside my standard duties as an Elected Member, I have also put my hand up for various other optional Council roles and sub-committees. These currently include:

Deputy Mayor (since November 2023)

Infrastructure and Environmental Services Committee – Member

Community and Corporate Services Committee – Member

CEO Performance Management Committee – Member

Youth Advisory Committee – Member

Audit and Risk Committee – Proxy

Gawler Community House – Council Representative

Gawler & District College Governing Council – Council Representative

These past few years have been eventful, but I believe there is so much more left to do in our community. I hope to continue transforming this Council over the upcoming four years.

What I Stand For

Policies & Views

Policies

Communication

I believe that local government works best when everyone has the chance to participate. We can work towards this through transparency, good communication, and a strong community consultation process.

Sharing our Culture

If we want to maintain Gawler as a unique place rather than simply a ‘commuter town’, we need to be on the front foot in making our new residents feel like their residence in Gawler is not just a house, but a home.

Youth Empowerment

You’ll often hear it said that young people are the future, but it is important to recognise that they are also the present. Let’s ensure that this is a welcoming and accessible town for our young residents, by listening to what they need.

Heritage

Gawler’s status as the oldest country town on the South Australian mainland is valuable to our local community, and also as an avenue for tourism. While new development is inevitable, I believe it is also important to maintain our community feel.
