Our Values
A more efficient administration
We 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.
Improved sporting assets
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.
Supporting community groups
Our community groups are a valuable resource. We would like to encourage them as genuine and active participants in Council plans.
Keeping it local
Let's encourage companies to locate facilities locally so fewer residents have to commute long distances to get to work. We will ensure our Council uses local business as it's first choice.
Get planning right
We want to develop planning strategies that encourage developments which benefit the community rather than detract from it.
Conserving our natural heritage
Let's look after the beautiful natural assets of Warringah. They're what make our area such a great place to live.
Encouraging more vibrant shopping precincts
We would 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.
A fresh start with proper governance
Most of all we'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!
- Since the first meeting of the Shire Council in March 1906, it has been sacked three times - the last in 2003 - more. It is to no one's credit that the centenary meeting of the Warringah Council was presided over by a State Government-appointed administrator. We hope to ensure that this state of affairs will never take place again in Warringah.
