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.

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.

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 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.

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.

RAYNER, Carmen

Kimba always has and will forever lie at the heart of my sense of home and community. I am fully supportive of the continuing development of the fantastic community we currently enjoy. Previously I have served on the Tourism Advisory Committee, Development Group, KAS and Kindy Governing Councils and Kimba Show committee. I am a founding member of Workshop26 Inc. and currently an active member of the KDFNC and serve on the Netball Committee. Owner of The Small Town Soap Co, manufacturing and distributing handmade products Australia wide. I am also a farmer, wife of Clint and mother to Edie, Connie, and Reg. I care deeply about our local health services and am passionate about the growth and sustainability of our community, and the development of our tourism industry. Supporting all demographics within our community is important to me. If elected, I will strive to ensure Council makes sound decisions that benefit our community and make Kimba an even better place to call home.
