🌈⭐️ Proud to have voted in favour of Armadale’s new Community Strategy last night, the first to specifically recognise LGBTQIA+ residents.

This was the result of a genuinely thorough process: community consultation, stakeholder engagement, officer review, and councillor input over several months. It passed 8 to 5, and I want to thank everyone in our community who shared their views along the way.

Representing ALL of our residents means ALL of our residents and I’m glad council backed that principle. I take great pride in the fact that my ward (and the whole of our City) is home to people from all walks of life, and good policy should reflect that diversity rather than overlook parts of it.

Have you ever spotted one of our water trucks watering trees on a rainy day and wondered why? You're not alone!

While winter rainfall certainly helps, it doesn't always provide enough water where young trees need it most.

Rain doesn't always soak deeply enough to reach the roots, especially in our sandy soils. That's why newly planted street trees are watered on a programmed schedule during their first three years, helping them establish strong, healthy root systems.

Our watering program also includes a wetting agent and organic bio-stimulant to improve soil health and help the trees thrive.

A little extra care now helps create healthier, greener streets for years to come. 💚

There is still time to have your say on the proposed 2026/27 differential rates.

Public submissions on the proposed differential rates close at 5pm tomorrow.

Further information on the proposed differential rates and how to make a submission can be found here:

📧 Email: [email protected]

If you have a view on the proposed rates, I encourage you to make a submission before the deadline.

Every submission counts. I read each and every submission in detail every year, and I always have. Even when views differ, it is important that councillors understand the concerns, priorities and experiences of the people affected by our decisions.

Most of the work I do on behalf of residents happens away from social media. I work hard scrutinising budgets, questioning expenditure and advocating for value for money for ratepayers.

For me, community feedback is the most important part of that process, which is why I encourage anyone with a view on the proposed rates to make a submission if possible.

Formal submissions form part of the official record and must be considered as part of Council's decision making process.

While I cannot predetermine the final outcome, I can assure residents that I will continue advocating for responsible spending, challenging costs where appropriate and seeking the best possible value for money for our community.
