Amanda McNeill – Serving Kingsley Ward
This upcoming Whitehorse Council Election, I am seeking your support and vote in being re-elected Councillor of Kingsley Ward
What I stand for
As your representative, I will fight passionately about making our community better for all, within the areas local Council controls
Low Rates
We must keep Rates as low as possible while delivering high quality services we all enjoy for the benefit of all residents.
Boost our Environment
Protect and defend our open spaces. Plant more trees on Council parks and reserves, and improve facilities, paths and buildings on these to ensure residents can make good use of them.
Keep Aquatics in public hands
Aquatics is an important and integral part of our community.
Better Access
Better access to all public spaces and services for people with Disability. This means smoother paths, more crossings, hearing loops, inclusive spaces and play equipment, better lighting and quiet spaces.
Infrastructure
Improve roads, footpaths and drains to support the population of today and tomorrow given much predicted growth in Whitehorse in the next 10 years.
Red Tape Reduction
Maximize the reduction of red tape to support diverse small business and community groups and help ensure their ongoing viability.
Positive Aging
Support positive ageing through grants, referrals, advocacy and suitably designed infrastructure and older people. Support their family and carers with enquiries of this nature.
Early Childhood
Support early childhood services and kindergartens and families with young children through the provision of quality facilities and equipment.
Customer Service
Support retaining all three customer service centers remaining open in Whitehorse.
For the next 4 years
I will fight for a more accessible Whitehorse Council and ensure we achieve better environmental outcomes
