in Arts and Culture, Community Groups, Port Phillip

Today the City Of Port Phillip hosted the Midsumma Pride Flag Raising Ceremony celebrating our LGBTQIA+ communities and Pride March.

Today’s flag raising ceremony is a reminder that the City of Port Phillip welcomes all people and celebrates our diversity. Entertainment was provided by the wonderful Jimi the Kween.

We are Proudly Port Phillip and We Proudly Support Pride. I’ll see you on Sunday for Midsumma Pride March!

Making it Happen for Montague Ward and the City of Port Phillip

Politically independent

Only a politically independent Councillor who lives in the ward will genuinely represent the best interests of Montague Ward

Good governance

Governance failures have resulted in cost blowouts and failed rubbish collection. I will review council policies to instil best practice governance

More dog spaces

I will continue working with our community to deliver new dog off-leash spaces and improve existing spaces

Sustainable development

My background in urban planning will ensure the right balance between much needed housing and our urban character.

Community services

I will ensure Council delivers now and into the future by providing the services and facilities we need for our communities and our families.

Community safety

I will improve the amenity of our community, enhancing safety and advocating for public transport improvements.
