She believes it is important that we contribute to a safe future for Yarra’s young people and ensure the most vulnerable are not unfairly impacted by the effects of climate change. Nurturing a healthy and strong community where no-one is left behind is a high priority.

A creative city where the arts and creative industries flourish. She is a strong advocate for continuing our partnership with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community towards reconciliation and justice.
