Now that a few days have passed and I am getting my breath back, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to all my colleagues on the NPSP Council, and my sincere thanks to every candidate who ran in the election. Without people willing to nominate and give it a go, our democracy is meaningless.
As a Councillor, I will be involved with the entire Norwood Payneham & St Peters city, but I will be the particular representative for the residents and businesses of my ward, along with my fellow ward councillors Vincent Tarzia and Connie Granozio. Please feel free to talk to myself, or Vincent or Connie, about anything to do with your neighbourhood. We are here to be a bridge between the people and the Council, to be your voice.
I would like to extend my congratulations to the Mayor, Robert Bria. We will be getting to know each other very well over the next four years, and working closely together. Mr Bria has suggested the creation of a new public space on the Parade and increased funding for public art, which I am very supportive of.
The Council has already started some commendable sustainability and water-harvesting initiatives, particularly with the Dunstone Grove/Linde Reserve redevelopment. I hope that I may be able to contribute to and work with the Mayor and Council in improving the sustainability practices and infrastructure of the City so that Norwood Payneham & St Peters can become a world class example of a thriving social and ecological community.
I am very excited to be on the team, and I am looking forward to a productive four years on Council.
