Melinda Lawton
Candidate for Kiama
Melinda leads this diverse and committed group. Her family moved to Jamberoo in 1976 and with her two sisters, went to school at Jamberoo Public and then to Kiama High School.
Melinda moved to Sydney to work in television around 1987. She is an accomplished executive leader and design specialist with a wealth of experience in project management, design and construction sectors. She sees herself as a team player, specialising in finding creative solutions to complex problems.
Melinda is currently working with Waminda, a dedicated Aboriginal female-led organisation ensuring services and wrap-around support for their Shoalhaven community.
Melinda is acutely aware of the major tasks facing the next Council. Finding long term financial stability and at the same time sustainably managing the growth pressures on the area. She is committed to working constructively in a way that helps to heal the divisions that characterised the last Council term and to help the community regain trust in the Council.
