Caitlin Spiller
candidate for Port Stephens Council – Central Ward
Having lived in the beautiful Lemon Tree Passage for 13 years I love and appreciate the areas unique coastal environment and its people. It would be an enormous privilege to represent the communities that make up Central Ward. My vision for Port Stephens is a safe and caring community that values our precious environment.
Our vision for Port Stephens
Our vision for Port Stephens is a progressive, safe and caring community that protects our precious environment against the pressures of over development and climate change. We will listen to the community, value the natural environment and advocate for the voiceless.
