I want to…

RODNEY, Emma

As a long-time resident of White Peak and Project Coordinator by profession, I bring strong organisational skills, a collaborative mindset, and a dedication to positive change. I enjoy volunteering my time in the community through various avenues - whether that's local sports or Santas Christmas Fire Truck run.

Over the past two years serving on council, I've worked to support transparent, community-driven decision making and ensure all voices are heard.

I am seeking re-election to continue building a resilient, inclusive community where local priorities are addressed and practical action is taken.

ELIOTT-LOCKHART, Liz

I have proudly served as a local councillor for the past four years. Alongside council, I work part-time as a teacher and have a local CV business, giving me firsthand experience of the challenges and rewards of rural life. Since 2019 I’ve dedicated more time to community service. I am currently President of the Chapman Valley Agricultural Society and a member of FabCV (For a Better Chapman Valley). I am also involved in growing the Chapman Valley Country Music Festival into a signature Mid West event. Let's put Chapman Valley on the map!

So what do I contribute to Council? Perhaps sometimes a few “big picture” or ambitious ideas that aren’t always financially practical but most importantly, I strive to be a voice for the community. I listen. I hear the concerns raised about things like potholes, rubbish tip access, signage, and rates. While I can’t solve these issues overnight, I believe it’s my role to bring them to the table both for short-term solutions and longer-term planning.

HUMPHREY, Peter

We all pay rates and should be provided with the same services, but are we? Approximately two thirds of this shire is now rural/residential estates which has created a different dynamic and lifestyle.

I live in White Peak which was always proposed as a place to breath where families could spread out and have animals. I am an advocate for promoting better services and the increased maintenance required to preserve and improve the current infrastructure in the area.

I have also lived and worked in rural and farming communities and understand the demographics which hold communities together through sound and ethical financial management.

I believe in truth and transparency within Local Government and that the care and wellbeing of this community should be at the forefront of the future development. 

It takes people from diverse backgrounds to be a voice on council and I have the drive to represent the interest of ratepayers and residents and I ask for your support to achieve this.
