Welcome to the website of Cr. Alex Makin
Thank you for visiting my web site.
My name is Alex Makin and I am the councillor for Loughnan’s Hill Ward located within the City of Maroondah and situated in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs.
During my time on Council I want to ensure that Maroondah becomes a vibrant municipality filled with opportunities for people of all ages and ability. I believe we can achieve this goal through improving the level of sustainability, mobility and accessibility within Maroondah allowing us to create a more inclusive, empowered and stronger community.

About this web site
This web site has been developed to encourage discussion about the future of Ringwood and Maroondah. I believe it is through our ideas that we will see suburbs such as Ringwood and the broader municipality of Maroondah become vibrant areas in which to live, work and enjoy.
This website includes copies of speeches, media releases and submissions and an Internet Journal which details my work as a councillor and my involvement within a number of community organisations. The Internet Journal also provides an area for your comments and feedback.
