VEC Candidate Statement
Are you getting value for your rates money? Bring council’s focus Back to Basics, core services done well. It is time for action on what matters (rather than endless surveys and being heard but not listened to): fixing local roads, footpaths, rubbish, reducing rates, protecting our coastline, beautifying our streetscapes, improving community safety and encouraging investment in an environmentally balanced way to provide opportunities in our region. With a successful proven track record in representation & advocacy that has changed policies, I’m Meg, a community and small business person – specifically agriculture, construction and tourism. Prior to having a family (I’m the mother of two school aged boys) my professional career was mainly as a Business Banking Executive. My values are simple: kindness, transparency & economic responsibility. After direct consultation, I will consider every issue on its merits and as your representative be able to explain to you the basis of how I come to positions. Together we can change the focus of Bass Coast Shire Council.
