CHAMPION, Linda Jane

I have lived, worked, and raised my family in the Light Regional Council area for many years and am passionate about ensuring our community remains a vibrant, welcoming place to live. As a qualified lawyer with experience in business, community service, and local volunteer groups, I bring strong analytical skills and a commitment to fair and transparent decision-making. I believe Council should focus on core services such as safe roads, responsible financial management, and supporting local sport, heritage, and community events that bring us together. As your councillor, I will work hard to represent the views of all residents, advocate for sensible solutions to local challenges, and ensure accountability at every stage. I am committed to being approachable, open to feedback, and dedicated to building a strong future for the Mudla Wirra Ward and the broader Light Regional Council community.

MOULDS, Alan Wilfred

Although retired now from the workforce I continue my long involvement as a volunteer, with the CFS, Gawler Show & Red Cross / Life Blood. I am particular proud of my commitment to the Red Cross / Life Blood being a special donor and making 281 donations to date. Living in Gawler Belt for 37 years, I have made numerous detailed submissions regarding issues affecting the Mudla Wirra area, attended and addressed meetings of both Light & Gawler councils and attended information session. I have always given permission for my submissions to be published and made open to the public. I have formal qualifications in engineering and management with my last few years working as an Auditor. During my working life I was mainly based in the field working on remote sites. Although I did spend time in Corporate Head Offices, I was not desk bound at any time. With this back ground, efficient delivery of services and utilisation of council resources in a positive manner would be a key focus for me.

SERGEJEVS, Michelle

My husband and I have lived in Gawler River for the past 25 years, where we've raised our two children, now young adults. Over the years, I’ve been actively involved in our local community through various school and community groups, including as Chairperson of both the Angle Vale Preschool Board and the Gawler River Community Hall. I’ve worked in both small and large businesses in financial and leadership roles, which has given me a good understanding of how to solve problems, work with different people, and make thoughtful decisions. If I’m elected, I’ll work hard to make sure Council decisions are made openly and responsibly. I’m especially focused on making improvements in areas that matter to us all like roads, transport, education, and jobs. I want to be a strong voice for the Mudla Wirra community and help make it an even better place to live.

KENNEDY, Martin

I look forward to the challenge of being your Councillor for Mudla Wirra Ward. I believe I’m a good listener, level headed and will bring my broad life, work & volunteering experiences to the role. I want our Council to be about more than Road, Rates & Rubbish, and will listen to you as we form our vision for the future. I bring to the role my experience as a former Senior Sergeant of Police and a family man with four daughters & 7 grandkids. Living in Hewett since 2004 I have insight into the needs of families living there. I volunteered my whole life in many roles while working 40 years for SA Police, the last 16 managing operations across the Barossa Valley. Post full-time employment I gained some understanding of small business with 2 years as Business Manager of our Shipyard at Pt Adelaide. Current roles - Gawler Lutheran Schools Board, Gawler Lutheran Church Board & Gawler DV Network. Previous Governance roles - Chair Gawler Blue Light, Past President & Life Member BL&G Umpires.

CICCARELLO, Vini

I have lived and worked in our Norwood community since childhood. Its cosmopolitan character has shaped who I am. My local knowledge and experiences mean that I know how councils and governments work and given me the ability to get things done. I commit to getting the best possible allocation of resources for your rates. I am passionate about the Parade, the heart and soul of our community, and want to ensure its revitalisation respects its history and protects what locals love about it. I am keen to see the development of the Norwood library as an important education resource and community hub, sustainable urban development designed to meet changing needs, respecting the heritage character of the area with innovative designs. I support the development of open space, our parks, street trees, sporting facilities and traffic management to provide safer roads and improved parking plus initiatives to assist small business. Most of all I want to give residents and businesses a strong voice.

HAYES, Paul

I am a recently-retired lawyer. I worked in both the governmental and not-for-profit sectors for many years. My partner, Jonathan and I moved to Norwood in 2017. We love the community, its vibrancy and lifestyle. In an increasingly complex and frenetic world, I am a calm, competent person. I have the skills and experience to effectively represent the residents of West Norwood/Kent Town. If elected, I will work to ensure council decisions are transparent, ratepayers’ money is well spent and projects are delivered on time and on budget. In the face of moves to increase urban density with multi-storied apartments, it is vital our Council strikes the right balance between thoughtful development and the preservation of the character and amenities of our much-loved neighbourhood. If elected, I will advocate for improved traffic management along Magill Road and for ongoing investment in the Council’s green and tree-lined spaces, including Richards Park, Osmond Terrace, and Hutchinson Park.

HOLMES, Mike

Having lived in the West Norwood & Kent Town Ward for nearly 30 years at 6 addresses across a mixture of building types (detached single story dwelling, semi-detached, high rise), I understand from a variety of perspectives what it is like to live here. I love the area and the advantages of being close to the city, the hustle and bustle of The Parade, the elegance of the heritage buildings and the beauty of our parks. I also understand the modern-day issues created by parking, noise and traffic. Things I cannot promise to solve, but I will promise to listen to. Having also served (and continue to serve) as a Community Title Presiding Officer on two occasions, my approachable style has enabled me to help communities move through some challenging times. Serving the Ward, I aim to always listen, learn, plan, act & feedback. Thank you for your support.

MORGAN, Anna

I'm nominating to represent Norwood West / Kent Town ward with a strong focus on building community. I grew up in the ward, attended Norwood Primary, and have deep roots here with most of my family still in the area. I support the creation of stronger local arts programs through community groups, workshops, and gallery space to help strengthen connections especially as social isolation grows. I will advocate for better services for the elderly, support volunteer programs and local resident associations. I’ll champion local voices in council and work to ensure the community is heard in decision-making. I’m committed to preserving green spaces while balancing safety through responsible tree management, and will address local issues such as traffic and parking where possible. I believe in thoughtful progress that respects and protects our area's unique heritage. Let’s build a connected, safe, and forward-thinking community together.

ROBERTS, Scott

As an Adelaide Hills resident, I’m deeply connected to our community and passionate about protecting what makes it special. With a background in banking and investment advising, I bring strong financial skills to tackle the Council’s growing debt and ensure ratepayer money is spent wisely. I support small businesses, champion sustainable tourism, and believe in practical, transparent decision-making. I’m running to bring accountability, fresh thinking, and a community-first approach to Council one that supports local enterprise, protects our environment, and strengthens the future of the Hills for all who live and work here.

GLADIGAU, Richard

I have lived near Mt Torrens all my life. My family settled in the Adelaide Hills in 1849 and have remained an active part of the community since. I run two dairy farms supplying local cheese factories. My long-standing history in the area has discovered my passion for the hills and its people. I have always been committed to serving the community, being former Chair of the local church and school, played sport for Mt Torrens, and a member of the local dairy discussion group. I have been involved in state and national boards, inc. Dairy Farmers Milk Co-op, SA Dairyfarmers (12 years) and Australian Dairy Farmers (6 years, 2 years as President). These roles have developed my skills in leadership, governance, advocacy and strategic planning. If elected, I will be a strong voice for community, focusing on maintaining roads and infrastructure, reducing rates, enhancing small business, tourism and primary production, preserving our heritage and ensuring our elderly are catered for.

STEINBECK, Matthew

Ratepayers deserve a candidate with extensive experience and that is passionate about improving the local area. As a currently serving Inspector of Police, if elected I will bring a wealth of experience in operational management, strategic planning and corporate governance to the council with a focus on service delivery, financial management and capacity planning. I have served on several boards and committees which gives me the skillset to ensure that whether you are a resident, local business or community organisation you will receive your fair share of the councils focus. I currently live in the ward with my wife and 3 children who all attend local schools, and I am actively involved in the community with sport and volunteering. I am excited to see the local area grow but we must ensure that the services provided are sustainable and focused. Public amenities, transport, parks and local tourism are specific areas that I intend to focus on if elected.

BRAY, Martin

Competent basic council services should be delivered within community ability to pay. I advocate CPI rate capping, balanced budgets and debt reduction, helping deliver such a plan with other councillors at Onkaparinga where I served 12 years. I oppose: hills rezoning, and divisive identity ideology creep at a local level. I support minimal population growth, smart pocket developments within town boundaries, protection of existing residents from visual intrusions, diligent infrastructure maintenance, continual street tree improvement program, restoration of Australia Day, and cost-neutral sustainability initiatives. I’m university educated, retired successful small business owner of 30 years, published public health writer with Melbourne University Publishing and Choice Magazine and retired reviewer of cancer research grant applications. My past service includes CFS instructor and community member in Clarendon. I live in Mt Torrens. I am a volunteer manager at Steamranger.

List of candidates

In accordance with the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, the draw to determine the order of candidate names to appear on the ballot paper was held on Thursday 11 September 2025. The result of the draw are detailed below.

HARRIS, Robyn

I am passionate about ensuring we continue to have a vibrant, progressive and well serviced local community into the future. With a background in nursing, small business and community services, I bring practical knowledge, financial management skills, new ideas and enthusiasm to the table. I am currently involved locally as a SA Ambulance Service volunteer and Eyre Hub board member. For our community to thrive, we need access to childcare to give individuals an opportunity to return to their chosen profession, which, in turn, unlocks skill shortages. We need access to housing to enable business to employ staff, which helps grow our population. I recognise we face the ongoing challenge of securing a doctor and acknowledge just how important continuity of health care is. Together, we can shape the future of the community. I invite you to share your ideas, raise your concerns and join me in progressing the great work that has been done by people before me.

SCOTT, Toni Ann

25 years ago I moved to Kimba a young girl starting work life with my first of many local employers. I married a local farmer and have proudly called Kimba my home ever since. I immediately started my volunteering journey with the Youth Advisory Committee, an initiative of Local Council. I became an active member of the Netball and Basketball Clubs and have volunteered in coaching and committee roles the entire time I have lived here. Over the past 15 years I have dedicated my time to raising our 3 children, helping manage the family farm whilst always remaining employed part time with local business'. I have continued to serve as a volunteer with interest in a diverse range of local groups including the Kimba Christmas Tree Committee and the Kimba Hospital Auxiliary. As a mum of teenage kids I believe I could fill a role on council that isn't currently represented. I have always said Kimba is the best place in the world to raise a family and I'm passionate about keeping it that way.

BALDOCK, Jeff

I am a 68 year old, semi-retired farmer. Having lived in the Kimba District all my life I am passionate about making sure Kimba not only survives by thrives into the future. Our family have been proud members of this community for generations and now with our 2 sons and daughter and their families all living here I am very focused on making Kimba the best place it can be. I have enjoyed all of the advantages of being a member of this community, playing, coaching, umpiring in sporting clubs as well as being on various committees and volunteering in various groups. Kimba is a great place to live, but I believer we need to find a way to attract new industries to strengthen our community. After being involved in farming all my life my wife and I have handed over the running of the family farm to the next generations meaning I will have more time to give back to the community so I am asking you to consider me as a candidate for the upcoming supplementary Council election.

SOLLY, Joshua

After relocating from Adelaide, I’ve been proud to call Kimba home for just shy of eight years now. In that time, I’ve built strong connections through my involvement on a number of local committees, sporting clubs, and community initiatives. You might have seen me on the football oval or the cricket pitch, but I’ve been just as active behind the scenes - contributing ideas, energy, and time. As a Store Manager and Stock Agent in my professional life, I bring leadership, problem-solving, and a strong ability to listen, collaborate and plan. At home, I’m a husband to Esther, our local Kindy Director, and a soon-to-be father, which supports my interest in wanting to help shape our community for the benefit of future generations. I am standing for election because I believe our district can continue to grow and thrive - where local voices are valued and services are strengthened. I will bring energy, experience, and a fresh perspective to the role.
