RANDALL, Robert
For more than 30 years I have worked as a volunteer or served as an elected member in the community where I live. My election as a Councillor, Deputy Mayor, Mayor and state Member of Parliament has provided me with a wide range of valuable experience. Working on foreshore projects such as revamping of Henley Square into what it is today or protecting coastal sand dunes from erosion is some of the experience that I can offer you as I request your support for election to the vacant Councillor position. Council finances are also especially important. An openness and transparency in the decisions we take using ratepayer funds (your money) has always been important for me. Accountability to the people that I represent, can be achieved by providing as much information as possible, individually by email and newsletters or at public meetings. I will always endeavor to do that. Representation should be non-partisan and be open to free and frank debate. This is when the best decisions are made.
