Today is the final day to post your vote 🗳

This is your opportunity to have your voice heard.

Did you know that the highest vote rates is from those over 40 years?

Did you know that I am one of only two current councillors under 40 years in the City of South Perth!

I believe diversity of voice and representation matters. I encourage everyone to vote but I encourage our under 40’s to get involved in decision making.

If you’ve missed the timing for postal votes you can still return your ballots to the City of South Perth administration building, it’s next door to the library - cnr south tce and Sandgate street, South Perth.

Hopefully this lot of 900 plantings last 🤞

Thanks again to the friends group who organised the planting 🌱

One of the great opportunities you get when you are a councillor is to celebrate great work, on Thursday this was all about the launch of the Black Swan habitat on the South Perth Foreshore.

This project has been many years in the making and I would encourage you all to check it out next time you are at the foreshore.
