Today I formally announced my candidacy for Loughnan’s Hill Ward in the upcoming Maroondah Council elections.
It is with great honour that I submitted my nomination to the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) Office.
Maroondah must have a council that represents and responds to the concerns of the community. We must stop the rot of arrogant councillors that haved failed to listen and act upon community concerns.
We must enhance the mobility of residents by ensuring that our streets are safe and by advocating for better public transport.
We must protect our residential areas from inappropriate development and we must enhance the environment of Ringwood to ensure a peaceful and vibrant suburb that all people can enjoy.
We must strengthen the employment and educational opportunities within Ringwood to ensure that residents have opportunities to work and study. We must also provide an atmosphere that people of all ages and mobility can enjoy.
We must ensure that Ringwood fulfils its potential and becomes the vibrant suburb it was always meant to become.
This is the vision I have for Ringwood; I hope that together we can achieve a cohesive vision for the future of Ringwood.
It is with great honour that I pledge to genuinely represent the concerns of the community to enhance the advocacy and representation I have provided within a number of voluntary associations.
Please contact me on mobile 0409 136 213 or email alex@alexmakin.com.au and tell me about your vision for Maroondah and the issues that are of concern to you.
I thank everyone for their support so far.
