Interpreting election results and community message:
The outcome of the election suggests that the community sought a balance between change and perceived ’stability’, evident in the choice of winning candidates. Throughout my campaign, my focus remained steadfast on the future rather than dwelling on past actions of the council. I refrained from commenting on other candidates, as my advocacy for independence and fact-based decision-making is genuine.
Reflections on the campaign and fairness:
Central to my campaign was the principle of attentive listening to the concerns of residents, pledging unwavering dedication to championing their interests. This resonated deeply within the community. As a true local and a mother of two young girls, Noosa isn’t just a place I reside; it’s our cherished home, a sentiment shared by many in our community.
First priorities as councillor and goals for the term:
With 15 years of experience in policing, including a decade as a negotiator, I bring a unique skill set blending assertiveness with empathy. I won’t easily vote without community consultation and transparent decision-making. Despite working full-time interstate during the three-month campaign, I juggled responsibilities effectively, showcasing my commitment and work ethic.
As I step into the role, my primary focus will be on building strong relationships with constituents, stakeholders, fellow councillors. Collaborative governance and transparent communication channels are essential for accountability and ensuring every voice is heard. I am eager to engage with the community, being a visible presence and leading by example.
Setting achievable goals and diligently monitoring progress will be pivotal in effecting meaningful change during my term. Serving as a councillor is a privilege and a profound responsibility. It demands dedication, integrity, and a tireless commitment to representing and advocating for the community’s interests.
Additional comments:
I am both excited and humbled by the trust placed in me through this election, and I am fully prepared to serve Noosa with diligence and passion.
