Angie Paspaliaris
VOTE 1 FOR WARRNAMBOOL CITY COUNCIL
APPROACH
As a ratepayer and small business owner, and with the unprecedented damage of COVID19 this year and its ongoing impact, I am fully aware and appreciative of the difficulties and challenge that so many of us are experiencing.
Listening to, supporting and strengthening small business in our community is vital to Warrnambool's future in the face of this pandemic.
I want to work hard for our community in all areas, specifically targeting support and growth in tourism, an area i believe has untapped potential. In light of COVID19, this will become increasingly important as city-dwellers now more seriously consider a sea change or tree change.
Given my beginnings here as a young professional, I want to keep attracting and retaining young people to our city, something so important in sustaining and increasing important services for our district.
For the last three years, I have attended monthly Council meetings, and have been proactive in asking public questions related to parking, Council spending, CBD works and other issues affecting our community. I have asked important and probing questions, always asking for transparency and accountability - which is exactly what I intend to continue doing if elected.
