Clare & Gilbert Valleys Council - Area Councillor - 2 Mar 2021
Based in Auburn and operating a business at Manoora, I think our area is a great place to work and live. If elected, I will have a strong focus on both good governance and the councils agreed strategic outcomes. I am keen for the opportunity to work with other councilors as a member of a team to make sure the assets of the council are working hard for the benefit of the community. I have a strong background in both community service and business activity in our region. I am the Chair of Regional Development Australia, Yorke and Mid North and a member of the CFS. I have a good understanding of business in our region and the critical importance of a vibrant healthy local community. I am interested in what is important to you to enable our community to thrive and make a commitment to listen and collaborate.

The Clare and Gilbert Valleys is one of the best places to live and work in South Australia. I would love to be elected to the council to ensure this situation is not only maintained but improves. If elected, my goal is for our community to be both economically and environmentally sustainable into our future. I have lived in the region for the past 20 years with my partner Simon and our 2 children. In that time I have been involved with many community groups; such as the Minman Sporting Club, The Riesling Trail Management Committee, The Watervale Community Association, Climate Connect Mid North to name a few. My employment history shows a long-term commitment to the wine industry and local tourism through my roles in the cellar doors at Taylors, Crabtree and Sevenhill. I believe I have the necessary skills and experience to represent you whole-heartedly on our Council.

I am a lifetime local of Clare Valley. Innovative and diverse in my thinking, I had the vision to introduce the first Bobcat loader to the district, then owning a private wool buying business. I am currently a tour operator known colloquially as Mr Willson. I held the positions of founding Vice Chair and Chair of the Clare Valley Flying Group for ten years, instrumental in the inception and development of the Clare Valley Aerodrome. I have travelled Australia proudly promoting the Clare Valley region to Australia's leading domestic and international tourism bodies. Invited to nominate, I asked myself, Why go on Council? Hosting guests from all over the world, a regular comment is, What a beautiful region you live in, so diverse with so much to offer. The answer to Why? it's my time and my way to give back to a region that has been good to me.

My young family and I reside in Riverton. With the expanding interests and curiosities of my children, I aim at providing an exciting and flourishing region for them to grow into and explore. Growth and development in our regional centres and open space areas will drive local business and encourage this growth. I come from a military background and am currently employed in another Council's governance team providing me with broad knowledge, experience and no-nonsense decision making, an asset to Council. I am a member of the Riverton RSL and Riverton golf club. I am excited for this opportunity to grow not just Riverton but the wider community, it is our community so let us build it together.

Writ
A Writ is the legal instrument or official document authorising an election to be held for representatives to serve in the Parliament. In South Australia, Writs are issued for:
- Legislative Council and House of Assembly general elections
- House of Assembly by-elections for casual vacancies caused by the death or resignation of a member, or for another reason (see the By-elections page for more information).
The Writ outlines the timeframe for the election, including deadlines for:
- Enrolling to vote
- Lodging nominations
- The Writ to be returned
The Writ fixes a day for polling day (if there are more nominations than vacancies).
The dates can be deferred in certain circumstances, but by no more than 21 days. Beyond that date, or if an election partially or wholly fails, a new Writ must be issued.
The Electoral Act 1985 allows one multi-district Writ to be issued authorising general elections in all House of Assembly districts. Previously, separate Writs were issued for each district election.
Individual Writs continue to be issued for the Legislative Council election and any lower house by-election. The Electoral Act 1985 also introduced a separate date for the close of the electoral rolls following Writ issue.
Amendments to the Electoral Act 1985 introduced in 2013 require that for general elections the Writ must be issued 28 days before the date fixed for polling.
