Mathieu Bankes Noosa councillor candidate

In a diverse career spanning 40 industries, my journey has been blessed with an eclectic array of experiences, from essential services to finance, trades, and hospitality. Recently, my focus shifted towards a heartfelt passion for serving others through disability support work, life coaching, consulting, and mentoring.

Inspired by a deep desire to contribute to a brighter future for all, my intention to run for a council role stems from a commitment to be the compassionate, open-hearted leader that Noosa Council locals truly desire. With no affiliations or political assumptions, I am here as an independent voice – not for myself, but as a conduit for the truth.

If elected, my dedication remains unwavering. I envision a mission centered on Truth, Love, Growth, and the sustainable Evolution of Humanity in unity with Nature and all living things. This is not just a political endeavor but a personal commitment that transcends any formal role.

Addressing the most pressing issues facing Noosa residents and the broader Western World, my vision begins with a call to “CLEAN UP” – tackling the cultural sickness manifested in various forms like suicide, addiction, domestic & other abuse, homelessness and mental health challenges. Noosa Council is poised to lead a cultural revolution, fostering unification, collaboration, and tangible actions towards a healthier society.

The “GROW UP” imperative beckons us to recognize the interconnectedness of all things, transcending divisive agendas. As we elevate our collective consciousness, Noosa Council can spearhead a cultural evolution, resolving material concerns through a higher consciousness approach – from the river and roads to sustainable growth and affordable housing.

In the transformative “WAKE UP” phase, we embrace an integral evolution. Awakening to a higher level of consciousness becomes a beacon for Noosa Council, inspiring spiritual growth, mindfulness, and integral development. This organic awakening fosters understanding, empathy, and unity, propelling us towards a more enlightened and compassionate community.

Noosa, with its unique potential, has the opportunity to stand as a model for integral evolution, a place where the cultural revolution is not just a concept but a lived reality. This vision is not about me; it’s about the collective journey towards a brighter future that we can all shape together.
