📢PSA📢
What if we could get local olive oil from Karawara's olive trees?
Well - the Curtin Primary School P&C tell me this is exactly what they're doing. If you live in Karawara, Manning, Waterford, Salter Point or Como - get around this great local initiative!

I’m both saddened and disappointed at the recent resignations of my colleagues - Councillors Prendiville, Waugh and Houweling.
I thank them for their service to our community and wish them well.
Council politics can be a brutal and volatile business.

Regarding my future – I ain’t going anywhere.

I was just re-elected for a 3rd straight term barely 8 months ago.

I’m truly humbled by the support from Manning Ward residents urging me to stay on.

After nearly a decade on Council – my compact with the people of the Manning Ward stands.

WATERFORD ENTRY STATEMENT

For years, the Waterford Entry Statement (off Manning Road) provided a sense of community pride and place for the good folk of Waterford. What many residents might not know, is this was located on private land, which was fenced off (pictured).

A petition was tabled at the last Council Meeting asking the City to commission a new Entry Statement.

I asked a question at part 2 of the adjourned council meeting (Wednesday night) – on if funding for this can be considered as part of the 2025/26 Budget process. The answer was yes.

I’ll continue working with my council colleagues and city staff to make this happen, and bring back the Waterford Entry Statement.

Great to try out new local Drasko's Hot Chicken this week.

They’re one of the new additions to the recently revamped local Village Green shops in Waterford – check it out.

While I was a regular at the previous tenant – Malaysian diner Kitchen Inn Express, I’m very happy the shop-front wasn’t empty too long and Drakso’s quickly filled the void.

Well done Lease Equity for securing such a great restaurant.

Another Council year capped off - this time at 11.30pm on Tuesday night with a mammoth 5.5hr meeting! I want to belatedly congratulate my newly elected colleagues: Councillors Houweling, Lees, Raison and Russell (pictured below with the Mayor at our swearing in ceremony in October). I also thank Crs Nevard, Cridland, Coveney and Choy for their dedication, collegiality and service over the previous term.
