KING, Roxanne
After careful consideration I have decided to stand at the next council election. I am married with 2 adult children and 1 grandson. Having lived and worked in Tumby Bay across the hospitality, banking, and rural sectors, I have gained broader knowledge of the town and surrounding area. If elected I will ensure I add value to the local councillors when making sound and informed decisions to improve the lifestyle of the aging and youth members in our community. I am very passionate about tourism, what it brings to businesses and essentially the sustainability of our beautiful town. When an active member of our local sporting clubs I was involved in the completion of the Football and Netball club rooms, courts, and stadium, which continue support the community today. Now retired, I feel I have the time, energy, and passion to support our community as a spokesperson for the council.

STEWART, Geoff
After graduating from the Royal Military College, Duntroon, I served for almost 30 years in the Australian Army and a further 10 years in the Australian Federal Police and Defence. I retired to Tumby Bay almost 25 years ago and have been a member of the SA Ambulance Service, Tumby Bay station, since that time. I am very aware of the cost of living increases and the pressures this is placing on families. I see this at all ages through my own extended family all of whom live in Tumby Bay. I would represent our total community, but most importantly I would listen to the voice of the community! Having previously been a Councilor and Deputy Mayor on our Council, I believe that I could provide valuable leadership and a realistic input into Council and thus our Community, should you give me the opportunity.
