I am an IT consultant and have run my own business for 15 years. I live in Waterview with my partner and our 2 school-age kids.
Alcohol can cause a huge amount of harm in some communities. I feel that we are fortunate to live in the Portage area where we have a limited number of bottle stores and the profits of alcohol sales are returned to the community.
As a Trustee, I will ensure that the Trusts continue to sell alcohol with harm minimisation in mind. In addition, I will also advocate for the Trusts to lift their game to provide better and more family-orientated venues and restrict selling tobacco products from their stores.
In my spare time I enjoy checking out the local bike paths with the kids and I also volunteer with Bike Avondale.
Please vote for me and the other City Vision candidates.
