Your new Council

I was born in Darwin and grew up in Eden Park before moving to Queensland. In 2013, I returned to Victoria.

I joined the Army Reserves as an infantry soldier based at 9RQR. I was elected to Logan City Council in 2004 and was appointed Chair of Environment and Sustainability in 2008.

I joined the Queensland Parliament in 2009 and served on the Law, Justice and Safety Committee and later, as a National Director before starting AMac Consultancy.

I have taught at both primary and secondary schools over the past 10 years and specialise in Student Wellbeing and the Performing Arts.

I am passionate about creating opportunities for the next generation and have a desire to seek natural justice for the people.

As a proud resident of the City of Whittlesea, I have had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the incredible diversity of families in our community.

As a parent myself, I am committed to raising my children here, surrounded by the vibrant culture and strong sense of community that makes the City of Whittlesea so special. 

I believe that every child deserves to have their voice heard and valued. It is essential that we provide services that are well resourced for them.

My vision is to see our children grow and thrive in the City of Whittlesea, staying connected to their roots and giving back to the community that has raised them. By working together, we can build a brighter future for our kids, one that is full of opportunities, and a sense of belonging.

I have proudly lived in Mill Park and the City of Whittlesea for over 40 years, witnessing firsthand how the community has developed and flourished into the place it is today. I am beginning my first term as a Councillor, bringing 25 years of experience in Local Government, primarily in Community Services and Youth Work.

As a Community Health Board Director, a member of the Northern Hospital Aboriginal Advisory Committee, and a Basketball Victoria Tribunal Member, I bring range of skills in governance.

I am passionate about social justice, promoting reconciliation and Aboriginal affairs, building a cohesive community for all, and supporting the health and wellbeing of children and young people. I aim to ensure that Whittlesea continues to have thriving, connected children, young people, and families.

I grew up in our municipality and have seen the area change from farms to the busy growth corridor it is today. I have a deep connection to the area and understanding of the issues.

My background was in Forensic and Environmental Science then Medical sales. It all changed when I had my second daughter and found out she has a muscle condition.

From there I became involved in advocating for what is now NDIS and advocated for Carers running support and community groups. I get it. I've worked across government, community and with Council to bring services: the satellite school in Whittlesea and support services for families. 

With a background in science, I am adaptable across many areas of Council and Community.

As a proud resident of the City of Whittlesea for the last eight years, I’m passionate about building a connected, inclusive community. I share my life with my loving partner, supportive family, and two lively Labradors who bring joy and keep me grounded. I also love to travel, experiencing diverse cultures and bringing fresh perspectives to my work.

With over 25 years of experience in business, I bring expertise in leadership, strategic planning, and delivering customer-focused solutions.  

I’m dedicated to building a thriving City of Whittlesea through open governance, better services and celebrating cultural diversity. From expanding green spaces to tackling illegal rubbish dumping, my focus is on creating a safe and welcoming community for everyone who calls it home.

I have lived in the City of Whittlesea on and off for most of my life. I have watched our city grow and develop and wish to be an integral part of its future.

I have worked in the Disability Sector for the past 33 years, performing a number of support, leadership and management roles.

I am an active member of my community, volunteering with Doreen CFA and Doreen RSL.

You will often see me doing community engagement amongst other activities.

With membership on a number of Committees, I have experience and an understanding of good governance and the desire to see our council functioning again. I would like to see the City of Whittlesea working effectively and efficiently for the residents, making this a city of choice for people to live.

I moved to the City of Whittlesea five years ago with my family and we couldn’t believe how lucky we were. The incredible diversity of the community and the beautiful surrounding environment made us feel at home and welcome.

My passion for local government is driven by a commitment to making a positive impact in the community.

I am committed to ensuring we have accessible infrastructure and services, that our environment is protected and thriving and that our community is connected and supported.

As our community grows and adapts, I want to make sure that everyone can play their part and feel at home. The City of Whittlesea has incredible opportunities and I’ll be working to ensure we make the most of them.

I moved to the Whittlesea area in 1977, living in Lalor, Epping, and now Wollert. This area is my home and where I’ve married and raised my children.

I served on the Shire of Whittlesea Council from 1979 to 1986, including a term as Shire President. I returned to the City of Whittlesea in 2016 and served as Mayor in 2018. My priority has always been representing the community where I’ve chosen to live.

Professionally, I represented Air Pilots for 28 years and, since retiring, I’ve worked as an Industrial Relations consultant and an Independent Company Director/Trustee for Superannuation for 34 years. I also volunteer as a Justice of the Peace.

As our region develops, we need essential infrastructure to support growth. I look forward to engaging with and representing residents throughout my council term.

I am an experienced community leader, dedicated advocate, and proud South Morang resident. With a career spanning law, emergency services, the military, and both private and public sectors, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my role.

St John Ambulance. I hold qualifications in law, policing, management, education, and paramedical science, reflecting my commitment to service and excellence.

My priorities include enhancing road safety, improving community facilities, advocating for sustainable development and working towards a vibrant, inclusive future for the City of Whittlesea.

Born and raised in the northern suburbs I love the area and want to see it flourish as a thriving business district with a happy, healthy and connected community that is proud of where they live.

My current role is General Manager for a Security & Technology company.  

For the last seven years I have co-owned and operated a NDIS registered provider specialising in vehicle occupant safety solutions.

With 20 years of corporate experience, I have been part of high performing teams for domestic and global businesses.

My hope for the City of Whittlesea is a council that supports local living and employment, aiming to increase local job opportunities. Promoting smart urban design for sustainable and connected communities understanding the ongoing cost of living and housing crisis.

I have been a proud resident of the City of Whittlesea since 1968, living with my family in Lalor.
