As a proud Stansbury local with more than 15 years working and living on the Yorke Peninsula, I’m passionate about strengthening the communities that make our region unique.

DINHAM, Phil
Having holidayed on the Yorke Peninsula for the past 50 years & now calling Point Turton home for the last 8 years, I've developed a strong connection to this region. My family has owned a holiday house here for half a century, and 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 & garden maintenance, as well as road, footpath, & stormwater drainage construction. I also succsessfully ran my own small, specialised transport bussiness for 24 years, giving me strong skills in planning, fiances, problem-solving, & customer service. Additionally, I have worked in the civil construction industry at various times. I take a keen interest in the environment, agriculture, & small business-key pillars of our community. As a councillor, my focus would be on enhancing amenities for all ratepayers, including residents, farmers, small business, & sportig clubs.

McDONNELL, Georgia
I’m 100% a Hills girl. I've lived in Upper Sturt for 24 years and counting, and like many of you, am a small business owner and committed volunteer. I believe that most challenges can be solved by creating spaces to listen, understand different views and find common ground. This belief has been shaped by nearly 20 years of involvement with the Upper Sturt Soldiers Memorial Hall and through my work with other groups and committees. I am a community engagement professional, and I will put my skills to work for you. I want to see our rates directed where they are needed most: maintaining and improving reliable services, supporting community-led initiatives, protecting the amenity, serenity and heritage of our Hills. I am deeply committed to succession planning because I want future generations to experience the same character-defining community life that has shaped me. Together, we can honour our past, strengthen our present and build the future you imagine. Your Voice. Our Hills.
