2026 Election Coming Soon

I will be nominating for Mayor of the City of Onkaparinga. This is a role I have been privileged to hold since November 2022.

As a voter in the City of Onkaparinga, you are on the largest job interview panel in South Australia. In October, you get to choose your next Mayor.

I am asking you to choose me.

I live in Sellicks Beach, around the corner from my daughter, son-in-law, and two grandsons. I have raised a family and led organisations in both community and corporate settings. I know what families are juggling every day — and I do not take it for granted.

I have been a part of this community since the 1990s. I am not going anywhere. I am here for the long haul.

I am calm and steady. I know how to manage multi-million dollar budgets with wisdom and common sense. I know how to work across all spheres of government, business, and community — from the kitchen table to the cabinet table.

Most importantly, I hear all the voices — not just the loudest ones — and I weigh up the evidence to reach decisions that are informed, creative, and compassionate.

In 2019, I received an Order of Australia (AM) for decades of community service. Not because I sought recognition, but because I showed up — consistently — for this community.

I respect First Nations cultural, economic, and ecological knowledge, and I bring that respect to every decision at the council table.

I am a grandmother.

I refuse to leave behind a legacy of short-term thinking.

Our grandchildren deserve decisions that outlast an electoral cycle.

That is the standard I hold myself to — and it is why I ask for your vote.
