The Greens will take Bellingen Shire back to what matters - housing affordability, environmental protection, action on the cost of living and transparency in government.

Our current Council majority puts profits before people. They pay lip service to the big issues, but don't deliver on outcomes in important areas like cost-of-living and climate. They have shown they are pro-development and have no plans to deliver more affordable housing solutions across the Bellingen Shire.

Dominic King is a former mayor and a member of the Local Government New South Wales (LGNSW) Board. He is a passionate environmental advocate and firmly believes local government is best placed to develop strategic plans and solutions to tackle the place-based challenges of a changing climate. Dominic believes that properly funded local government is best able to deal with housing affordability, social justice, and community inclusion.

We have the experience, and we're standing up for Bellingen Shire in the halls of power. As Greens on Council, we can work with our state and federal colleagues to secure more funding for Bellingen Shire, meaning fewer rate rises and more infrastructure for our community.

We know we can win in Bellingen because we've done it before.

This election, a vote for Dominic King and the Greens is a vote to take Bellingen back to what matters - action on cost-of-living, housing, the environment and transparency in local government
