Yorke Peninsula Council - Kalkabury ward
DINHAM, Phil
Having holidayed on the Yorke Peninsula for the past 50 years and now calling Point Turton home for the last seven, I've a strong connection to this region. I have a deep appreciation for the local community, environment, and way of life. I bring a wealth of experience from 17 years with the Adelaide City Council, where I worked across parkland and garden maintenance, as well as road, footpath and stormwater drainage construction. I also successfully ran my own small, specialised transport business for 24 years, giving me strong skills in planning, finances, problem-solving and customer service. Additionally, I have worked in the civil construction industry at various times. I take a keen interest in the environment, agriculture, and small business - key pillars of our community. As a councillor, my focus would be on enhancing amenities for all rate payers, including residents, farmers, small businesses, sporting oranisations, and, importantly, the younger generation.

GUNNING, Richard
I have lived and worked in Maitland my whole adult life. I have previously served two terms as a councillor when it was just the Central Yorke Council. I didn’t re nominate when amalgamation occurred with the Southern Yorke Peninsula council; also as my family and work committents took precedence. I have recently sold my business which I successfully operated for fifty years. I now have the time and knowledge to be able to assist in the operations of the council.

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.

Mount Barker - Central Ward
SIZE, Janette
I am passionate about our local district, having lived, worked and raised my children (now adults) in Mt
Barker. I am deeply connected to our community through a long involvement with schools, sport and
business organisations. As a family, we have been actively involved in sport and I have always been
happy to serve on committees. I am a business owner and employer in Mt Barker. My experience in
running a successful business has equipped me with strong leadership and communication skills as
well as the ability to work effectively within a team. My financial management skills are a key strength
that I believe will contribute positively to the responsible governance of Council. I believe Council
should focus on: improving infrastructure such as roads and carparking; protecting our environment;
expanding the trail network; upgrading parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities. It is time to make
a difference. I welcome the opportunity to be a strong advocate for you and our community.

MALPAS, David
My goals to represent Central Ward include, as priorities, stopping rate rises and easing cost of living
pressure, cutting unnecessary council spending and preserving Mount Barker's relaxed lifestyle
ambience. I moved to Mount Barker four years ago and see the impact of the cost of living on my
family and friends. Mount Barker is a fast growing community and we need Council to focus on
affordability for residents, while preserving our pleasant lifestyle and community ambience. I have
spent my career as a business owner living between Australia and the United States. Community
service has always been part of my life and I spent 20 years in Rotary International involved with local
and international humanitarian projects. I believe we are all better for our efforts in helping each other
and I am committed to making a difference. Feel free to reach out at david@davidmalpas.com 0421

DOREY, Clare
I'm an active resident of Mount Barker and am passionate about giving back to our community; my
particular desire is to see our youth reach their potential. Our children attend school locally and
participate in Scouts, youth and YCP martial arts. I have been a teacher for decades, holding
leadership positions here and interstate. Last year, I transitioned to relief teaching, allowing me to
dedicate more time to serving our region. Currently, I volunteer at church, Parkrun, as the Secretary of
our Little Athletics club, as a Venturer Scout leader and their Committee Chair. I love history and am
conducting research for the RSL & Veterans SA to honour our local WWII servicemen. With our many
parks and bike trails, Mount Barker is a wonderful place to raise a family, but I believe we can always
do better. My organisational skills will help me contribute positively to Council as we face future
challenges balancing new growth while still focusing on essentials such as roads, waste and rates.

My wife and I have called Mt Barker home for nearly 50 years and have had the privilege of serving
the community in years long past in school and sporting areas as our children were growing up. I have
witnessed Mt Barker develop from an idyllic country hub to a suburb where the infrastructure
especially traffic is struggling to keep up with housing. I believe that preserving the unique and
enviable quality of life that the hills offer should be foremost. I am committed to being fair, honest, and
strong, as your voice in local government. I don't have all the answers but I am certain that if we can
work together to listen, share ideas and understand each other, we can make this town, this life, and
our future here enjoyable for everyone, as a happy and contented you are our community's greatest
asset. I love our community and our beautiful natural landscapes. I will endeavour to enhance
community spirit, cohesiveness and advocate for everyone. I offer myself for election

walks of life. Over the last 18 years many locals have complained about our council rates, which are
35-50% higher than most other councils. i.e Adelaide Hills Council, 10 min away for an $850K home is
approx. $1000 cheaper than the same value house in Mount Barker. I would like to work with council
and SA Gov, to reduce rates to fair levels. With Pop. Growth going from Approx 33K to 46K in the next
10-15 years. We can achieve this and anything else the council and community put our minds too. We
live in Gods Country and as a Council Member I will do my best to keep it that way.

Mid Murray - Shearer Ward
BYRNE, Neville Joseph
I came to live on the River Murray after an 50 year association with the River; and after six years of
residency in the Mannum Waters development, I understand the challenges facing Council to balance
its expenditures within the constraints of its limited rate base and the need to become financially
sustainable. I hold executive positions with several major groups involved with activity on the River
Murray and within the Mannum Waters community; and I am currently a community representative on
Council's major strategic growth and economic committee. I have been involved in environmental and
recreation/tourism management for nearly 50 years in rural country S.A. & Victoria.My experience
could further help develop the tourism potential within a fragile environment with its Dark Sky Reserve.
I hope to ensure the Mannum Waters development plays an increasing role to the growth and
attractiveness of the Mid Murray as a tourism yet fragile environment.

I have lived in Mannum for the last 20 years and have raised my six children and one stepson both in
town and on a small property we had. I Worked as a Lecturer at Noarlunga TAFE then Broadband
Anywhere, later bought by Aussie Broadband, and brought wireless broadband to the area. I ran the
video and computer store called The Virtual Hub until the end of the DVD hire industry. I've been an
employee, a business owner and a farmer and sometimes all three at once. The job of a councillor is
to represent the people with integrity. The key word here is represent! I would see it as my job to
represent the majority's wishes, even if I disagree with their decision. I am always looking for solutions
to problems. A councillor is not a position of power but the exact opposite it is a position of servitude. I
am just an ordinary person looking to leave a better future for my children and hopefully in doing this
make it better for every community member.
