Councillor for Wynnum Manly Ward
I am delighted to address you as the newly appointed Councillor for Wynnum Manly.
There are 26 wards in Brisbane and we all know that Wynnum Manly is the best one! Since assuming this role, I have had the privilege of meeting so many dedicated and passionate community organisations and residents. I am both honoured and humbled to be representing you all.
I’m aware I have some big shoes to fill, following Peter Cumming and his 29 years of service. Like former Cr Cumming, my door is always open.
With the Lord Mayor delivering his 2023-24 Budget this month, I’ve hit the ground running. A lot of what’s in the budget is future planning costs and not necessarily works delivered this financial year. Details are still coming through and I will continue to keep you updated as I learn more.
