December 2009 Newsletter

Attached is my first newsletter, which was posted to Greens members in the East Metropolitan region at the end of December 2009.  It very briefly touches on a number of my activities in the first six months of parliament.  Please take a moment to read through and contact the office if you would like to follow up with me about any of the issues touched on in the newsletter.

Inappropriate development planned for Wattle Grove

The Shire of Kalamunda currently has an amendment advertised to rezone Lot 32 Gavour Road from ‘Special Rural’ to ‘Special Use (Aged Residential Care)’.  If this amendment is approved, an Aged Care facility will be built on a block with no reticulated sewerage and exceedingly poor access to urban amenities such as medical care, shopping and leisure activities.

The need for suitable Aged Care facilities is urgent and the shortage of beds in the Hills area is chronic.  We need more Aged Care facilities; however this proposal does not meet basic requirements for the health, safety and happiness of residents.  There are up to 15 other sites in the Shire of Kalamunda that are suitable for and Aged Care facility and developing those sites should be a priority.

Proposed Wattle Grove Development

I am working with the Wattle Grove Action Group to publicise the inappropriateness of this site for an Aged Care facility and I strongly encourage the Shire of Kalamunda to choose one of the far more suitable alternative sites that have been identified by the community.

New website

Hello, and welcome to my new website.

We have been working hard over many weeks to create a website that helps us to better represent you. There will be more features and content over coming weeks, so be sure to check back often, or subscribe to the site via Twitter, Facebook, RSS, or by signing up to our newsletter.

As the first Greens East Metro MLC, it is a tremendous honour, but at the same time there are many issues that have needed Green representation for some time. There are many challenges facing the East Metropolitan community, and I am looking forward to representing you in the Upper House on all of these issues.

If there is a particular issue you would like to bring to our attention, please use the contact form on this site to contact our office.

I look forward to meeting with local groups & constituents over coming years, and working for a fairer, more sustainable East Metro.
