Community. Collaboration. Connection


Community. Collaboration. Connection.

Our community is a source of ideas, knowledge, and support.
There is strength in collaboration and listening.
We all are connected, no matter our differences, by our love for where we live.

Platform and Policy

I am running for NPSP Council on a platform of practical sustainability, improved traffic safety and facilities  for pedestrians and bicycle users, and accountability and access of the Council to the community.

Everyone who lives in the area, regardless of whether they are young or old, sick or well, home-owners or renters, in or out of the workforce, deserves to have a neighbourhood that is pleasant to live in and where everything works well.
Everyone deserves to have a Council that is working hard for them with the long term in mind, continuing to make Norwood Payneham & St Peters a great place to live.
Everyone deserves to feel that their Council is listening and available.

My key areas of focus are:
  • traffic safety and improving facilities for pedestrians and bicycle users
  • public space and community gardens
  • water and waste management
  • preservation of trees and urban bio-diversity
  • preservation of heritage
  • intelligent urban planning that utilises best practice design in energy and water efficiency and capture
  • maintaining and enhancing a vibrant arts culture
  • keeping rates affordable and ensuring fiscal responsibility

A more detailed statement outlining these policies will follow shortly.

I sincerely welcome any suggestions and feedback. Please email me sophianpsp@gmail.com or call me 0411 755 677 or write a short letter to 3/18 Williams Ave, St Morris SA 5068
