Everyone’s voice matters. We’ll engage in active consultation where the community can come together to really have a say about services, how our money is spent, and what the future of the Hawkesbury will be.
On Council, we will:
- Hold regular public meetings across the Hawkesbury to discuss local issues
- Make sure Council is a clear, prompt, respectful and responsive communicator
- Refocus on Council’s role as a service provider for our community
- Ensure integrity and transparency in all facets of Council’s work
- Worry less about social media and more about real social engagement
- Reinstate advisory committees, so Council decisions are informed by experts and people with lived experience
- Make sure decisions about expenditure, projects and public land are made in public, with information easily available

My Journey to the Greens – January 2026
Greener and Greener This morning I went to pay my respects to old Blotchy for the first time this year. Old blotchy is a monumental spotted gum among many! He's maybe 500 years old and 14 people arms outstretched in circumference. We both live on the lands of the...
Why I joined the Greens – December 2025
I think I was predestined to join the Greens. My father was born in the west of Poland, then under German control, in 1915. He grew up in a small village, and told stories about going hungry, not having shoes and his family having to dig themselves out of the house...
