Paul's values and vision
- Using my knowledge of technology systems, I want to create greater efficiencies at Council. Using technology to enable staff to be more responsive, productive and effective - to deliver those better services at lower cost for the community.
- It's urgent that a comprehensive study is made of our sporting assets and the demands on playing fields. Let's plan for the future together and keep our kids and our community fit, healthy and happy.
- Our community groups are a valuable resource. I'd like to encourage them as genuine and active participants in Council plans.
- Let's encourage companies to locate facilities locally so fewer residents have to commute long distances to get to work. I will ensure our Council uses local business as its first choice.
- I want to develop planning strategies that encourage developments which benefit the community rather than detract from it.
- Let's look after the beautiful natural assets of Warringah. They're what make our area such a great place to live.
- I'd like to see our shopping centres with a great mix of local business and essential services, coffee shops, restaurants and cultural attractions. Let's decentralise to reduce congestion on our roads and the cost of getting to the shopping centre.
Most of all I'd like to see Warringah Council respected and admired throughout the State as a progressive and dynamic governing body. I want to see a Council working in the best interests of the community that elected it. There should be no place for those who want to be on Council for self-interest!
