Byron Council
Our Candidates
Duncan Dey
mayoral & councillor candidate for Byron Council
I’ve been a member of Byron Greens for 25 years, 6 of those as a Byron councillor. My priorities are environmental protection and respect and support for our community. I have decades of experience as a Civil Engineer and I understand the complexity of planning issues. I’m proud to lead a great team of Greens candidates. As your Mayor I will represent our wonderful shire with care & consideration.
Sarah Ndiaye
candidate for Byron Council
As Deputy Mayor I’m focussed on the challenges that Byron Shire is currently facing. There are key issues we must resolve such as the housing crisis, climate change and infrastructure management. I’m committed to Council supporting and advocating for First Nations rights.
Matthew O’Reilly
candidate for Byron Council
As a long-term campaigner, I’ve prepared myself for council by attending every council meeting in the last term and working with community organisations. I have the experience and knowledge of planning and governance to contribute to a better future for Byron Shire.
Kate Coxall
candidate for Byron Council
I’m a Social Scientist and who cares about those who are vulnerable. My experience in the Rural Fire Service has taught me how to work closely with communities in crisis. We must plan for disaster recovery and adaptation and build a resilient and supportive community.
Ian Cohen
candidate for Byron Council
As a 40-year resident of this biodiverse shire, I want to continue representing the species that cannot vote but whose presence is an eloquent reminder of the fragility of our planet. Byron Council should be at the forefront of environmental protection.
