What are some things you love about your electorate?
I’m proud of Ryde because I believe we are the most culturally diverse and harmonious electorate in NSW. It is a miniature version of the world. We have a high percentage of professionals and young families in the area. It is one of the fastest growing areas with abundance of employment and educational opportunities for families.
Our city boasts a world-class university, excellent public transport options, and stunning natural beauty with a national park to the north and a river to the south, making it one of Australia’s most pleasant places to live.

What do you believe are the 3 main issues affecting your electorate and why?
1. Lack of Community Facilities and Infrastructure – We need more community space to gather and perform and the car parks to match and support the fast-growing population and demand for families.
2. Over-Development – We are at risk of losing open space to developers without appropriate infrastructure.
3. Cost of Living – the prices of everything have been going up including the Council’s expenses to manage the city. It’s essential to make smart financial decisions to avoid burdening households with unfunded promises.
