Dear Bendigo Community

My Personal Values are Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Empathy, combined with the ability to listen to people.

Which I believe is what the people of Bendigo need right now, the Covid 19 Pandemic has effected many people in many different ways and they are going to want a council that can listen to their needs and be able to deliver community projects that help businesses and community get back together and restore the cash flow, recreate jobs and opportunities to help Greater Bendigo Recover.

I will put all issues on the table that place bendigo and its people in the right direction  and work hard with every industry and community to get Bendigo back on track
