My Priorities

1. Revitalise the middle- to Eastern-section of Victoria Street with:
• supporting and promoting the new local trader consortium named "The Brewers End";
• rate relief; and
• making it easier to have more kerbside seating for patrons; increase amenity and foot traffic for businesses.
2. Better services East of Collingwood train station; lots of construction and little return for your rates.
3. No dedicated bike lanes along Johnston Street. Another misguided attempt to create a Greens utopia instead of addressing more important issues. I love riding but the severe congestion caused by removing two lanes on a major road will be a disaster for not only your morning commute but also - ironically - the environment.
4. If we can't get the Safe Injecting Room moved, install adjacent support services that experts agree will bolster area amenity, e.g.:
   • Legal aid
   • Homelessness support
   • Suicide prevention services and other mental health support
   • Bulk-billing dental surgery
5. Full publication and swift implementation of the Council's independent financial and structural review.
6. Back to basics of the 4 "Rs": Roads, Rates, Rubbish, and Residents.

No more wasting the Council's time and resources creating a Greens utopia, while going bankrupt.
No more embarrassing appearances in the news.
