Priorities
Intro
Explore Sue’s practical plans for Briars — from safer roads and footpaths, better pedestrian access and stronger connections between our local towns, to community safety and cohesion, and ensuring council decisions are transparent, accountable and focused on what residents actually need.
Local
Putting Briars residents first with accessible meetings, regular listening posts and genuine consultation before key council decisions are made.
Accountability
Delivering open budgets, clear updates on votes and plain-language explanations so every resident can see how decisions affect them.
Action
Turning community ideas into practical improvements, with clear priorities, realistic timelines and regular updates on what is being delivered.
Roads & Footpaths
Backing overdue maintenance and upgrades to roads and footpaths across the ward, so residents aren’t left waiting years for basic repairs.
Connected & Safe
Championing the esplanade bike path from Mount Martha to Dromana, better parking solutions, and practical measures that make our streets and public spaces safer for everyone.
Why Council Decisions Matter
From the Esplanade and our beaches to roads, footpaths, parks and parking, planning permits, waste collection and local events — council choices shape everyday life right here in Mount Martha and across the Briars Ward.
Whether it is fixing a pothole outside your house, approving a new development down the street, or funding the local clubs and community groups so many families rely on, these decisions matter.
Sue will make them transparent, fair, and grounded in what Briars residents actually say they need — not decided behind closed doors, far from the people they affect.
