Danielle Packer

Candidate for Hills Shire Council – Central Ward

People need natural green space for mental health and wellbeing and I will fight to protect Fred Caterson Reserve from inappropriate overdevelopment. Crown land should be there for the entire community to use, not leased to a private club.

You may already know me through Landcare where I work with local communities and schools planting trees, leading bushcare programs and teaching children how to reduce waterway pollution and care for our local platypus. I am passionate about the impact small groups can have in driving positive change and fostering sustainable.
This term, our only Greens Councillor Dr Mila Kasby proved just how committed the Greens are in putting the community first. We need more Greens on council to put residents at the heart of decision-making and to rebuild trust in local democracy. Together we can change the status quo and deliver a balanced council genuinely focused on the well-being of The Hills. If you want action on housing, climate & integrity - you have to vote for it!
I know our council can do better but it takes the right people to make that happen. Our community is at a cross roads and we can benefit from incredible opportunities, if councillors stand for local interests, not vested ones. Parts of the Hills are set for rapid, high density growth and while we can't change this, we can make sure it's well planned so we build more affordable homes without losing our area's family friendly, leafy character. As mentioned, I will fight to protect Fred Caterson Reserve from inappropriate overdevelopment. Crown land should be there for the entire community to use, not leased to a private club.
If we can get more Greens on Council we will work with you on the local issues that matter most. Integrity in local government and genuinely listening to community concerns. Make housing affordable. Lower childcare costs. Protect and preserve our green spaces and wildlife. Have a net zero climate plan and help families switch to renewables.
