Philipa Veitch

Mayor of Randwick and Councillor for Randwick Council – West Ward

Hi, I'm Philipa, your 2024 candidate for Randwick West Ward on Bidjigal and Gadigal Land. Since 2017 I’ve worked hard to represent our community as your local councillor and Mayor. I’m committed to promoting equity, inclusion and social justice and to being a strong and effective advocate for our diverse community.

Since 2017 I’ve worked hard to represent our community as your local councillor and Mayor. I’m committed to promoting equity, inclusion and social justice and to being a strong and effective advocate for our diverse community.
I believe that our neighbourhoods should be affordable, accessible and close to where we work, study and play. Councils have a strong role to play and I’ll strive to ensure that council plans strike the right balance between development, heritage, green space and infrastructure. Effective community consultation is the key to protecting the character of our local neighbourhoods while delivering housing for our growing community.
I’m a passionate advocate for the environment, and strongly believe council needs to develop and deliver local solutions to tackle the climate crisis. I’ll take action to increase our tree canopy, protect native habitat, create safe streets to walk and ride, and ensure that everyone in our community has access to affordable renewable energy.
I’ve lived with my family in Randwick City since 2004 and am an artist, curator and teacher. I’m passionate about the arts and believe everyone should be able to participate in the cultural life of our city.
I’m committed to being a caring and effective community representative and giving the residents of West Ward a strong voice on Randwick Council. Together we can create vibrant, inclusive and caring neighbourhoods where everyone in our community can flourish.
