With the impending 2016 Local Government election in mind, I would like to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself to your readership.
A significant portion of your readers know me well, however I do not take for granted that, those new to the area, who now call the Weddin Shire home may not.
As a young parent of three I believe I uphold a genuine interest in the betterment of our shire and its future.
I am an active community member and volunteer throughout many different organisations within our Shire.
I am a friendly and approachable candidate and I trust that the Weddin Shire community will elect a Council that best represents them.
If elected it will be my second term as a Councillor.
It will also be an opportunity to again negotiate the State Governments Local Government Reform, and the ongoing Fit for the Future reassessments.
I feel privileged to have been part of a Council who were able to unite with its community and manage to stand alone.
Though change will be ongoing, of that I hold no misguidance.
Many people have asked, “Are candidates going to give the community an opportunity to hear what they stand for?” .
To degrees this method of personal promotion, has thankfully been somewhat circumvented by the Community Strategic Planning process, which all Councils in NSW commenced in 2011.
The Community Strategic Plan is a plan from the people, for the people.
Councils now implement this 10 year plan through a tiered management program, and regular community consultation is conducted via modern and tried methods, to ensure that Councils are delivering what their communities want.
This term, Council has completed or has in progress three of the highest ranking objectives from the Community Strategic Plan, being the Accredited Visitor Information Centre (VIC), the Grenfell Pool and the Grenfell Health Hub.
It would be a great honour to be elected to represent you once again and see these and many other projects through to fruition.
