Delivering for our community has been my top priority - here's what we've achieved to date.

Since succeeding former Councillor Jonathan Sriranganathan in May 2023, I have been working non-stop to deliver for residents of the Gabba Ward. For years, our community has been treated with disdain by big developers whose generous donations to Labor and the LNP ensure they get all the political support they want. While developer profits continue to soar, our residents foot the bill, and our community is getting left behind.

We deserve better.

That's why my approach has been to connect deeply with the residents, neighbourhood groups, and community organisations who are the soul of the Gabba Ward, and who are being left out of the picture by Labor and the LNP when it comes to shaping our city. I am proud to serve such a caring and engaged community, and to have worked to represent and deliver for you these past 9 months:
