From today, Monday October 25th, the local government voting packs are getting sent out to your mailbox.
If you live in the Maylands/Trinity ward, you need to choose three Councillors to represent you from a field of seven candidates.
Teresa Dall'Acqua Leonardi, Vincent Tarzia and myself are supporting each other as new candidates. I met both Teresa and Vincent when the nominations closed, and I am very impressed with their commitment and the experience and skills that they can bring to the table at Council. I have also met with Evonne Moore and I understand that she has done a lot of good work for the environment and heritage during her time on NPSP Council.
I am supporting David Winderlich for Mayor as he has been very open in his communication with me, and I like his approach and his policies which include pushing the Council to adopt more sustainable environmental practices, and supporting residents in living more sustainably, as well as issues such as safer footpaths and developing safer cycling infrastructure.
However, it is up to each person to make up their own mind, examine all the candidates, and decide who are the best representatives for you.
You will have our contact details, and you can find out a bit more about us on the Local Government Candidate's Website. Click on "Councils" on the top bar, then click "Norwood, Payneham & St Peters, City of" and that will take you to the list of Wards and Mayors for our Council.
Let's aim for a high voter response for a local government election - more than 30% of the people choosing your Council!
