BUSINESS COMMUNITY: Hold the General Manager accountable with key performance indicators to improve the relationship with businesses and community groups.
Feedback from all customers on an anonymous basis on their dealings with council and a committee or adjudicator appointed to resolve these complaints or feedback.
Amend the Heritage Plan to have some common sense signage policies.
WOMEN'S VOICE: Support all females to have a voice in council matters as they already have equal opportunity to do so.
COUNCIL DIVISIONS: Firstly, run a campaign to compete with and knock out the divisive councillors. If they or I am elected, I will sit down with those causing the division and make sure we resolve to move forward as a united council for the whole community.
FUNDING: No funding support from others for my campaign. Entirely self funded.
