Shire Independents
Your Shire, Your Voice
Shire Independents are a strong voice for our community.
We will safeguard our beaches, waterways & tree canopy by retaining healthy established trees and planting the right trees in the right areas. We want to see a Port Hacking Riverkeeper program introduced for healthy waterways for our residents, marine and birdlife. Open spaces and sports grounds which can be enjoyed by our community all year round.
We will continue to fight for sensible, sustainable development, not overdevelopment. That means addressing traffic congestion and fighting for parking, affordable housing for our local workers and young people.
It’s time for true community consultation and council transparency. We will ensure that local families, small businesses and organisations are truly listened to. We want better community engagement on Council planning, local parks, sporting grounds, town centres and important initiatives like the overland flood study.
It’s time to re-install an Internal Ombudsman to Council so that community concerns can be independently reviewed and addressed. Shire Independents will work hard to hold council accountable and ensure expenditure which reflects our community’s priorities.
