Last night at Hayes Park, Thornbury, I had the privilege of spending time with Merri Outreach Support Service and their supporters.

This is the sector I commenced my career in over 20 years ago - The quiet problem-solving and round the clock work that goes unseen to provide food, shelter and safety.

Thank you for the care you bring to our community and for the important work you do supporting people across Darebin, for some its a lifeline.

The Macedonian Ball was a hit Preston Lions Football Club

Thank you for inviting the Consulate General and myself as your guests.

Moments like tonight remind me how important identity and community are locally. Dancing with lifelong friends to music I grew up with, speaking a shared language that connects strangers and eating traditional food we have all shared around the dinner table.We are so lucky to live in a country that encourages cultural expression and connection.

My feet might be sore from dancing, but my heart remains full ❤️

New Path at BT Connor Reserve 🌿

On nights like this, having a safe, solid pathway makes a huge difference. Darebin Council’s new path at BT Connor Reserve allows everyone to get in and out safely, especially during wet conditions.

It's a practical upgrade that keeps our community moving and makes sure the park and games are accessible for all.

This project shows Darebin’s ongoing commitment to improving our local open spaces.

⚽🇲🇰 26 MASO CUP – DAY 1 🇲🇰⚽

Preston Lions are hosting the MASO Cup community tournament and it starts tonight. Mayor and I stopped by to watch some dancing, try some kebapi and chat with the amazing volunteers that make events like this possible.

BT Connor Reserve will welcome players from across Victoria and up to 25,000 visitors over the next few days.

Clubs like Preston Lions continue to support culture, diversity and inclusion across Darebin and the Maso Cup truly showcases the heart of our community. Thanks for having us!

🚨 Safety and Infrastructure in the West Ward 🚨

Earlier this month, a serious crash occurred on Gilbert Road near Henty Street, where a car flipped, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in our area. YSYS Group A road safety projects in this part of Darebin have been long been delayed, and in urgent need of funding and action.

I am calling on residents to share their views on road safety, traffic issues, and other priority projects that matter most to you.

Your feedback will guide my advocacy and help make sure we receive the upgrades our neighbourhood deserves.

Hey neighbours,

I will be commencing the 2026 year of my term on Darebin Council as an independent councillor.

My commitment to Darebin and to the West Ward remains unchanged. I was elected to represent my community, and I remain committed to honouring that social contract.

Serving independently allows me to centre my work fully on equity, transparency and community outcomes. These are the values that guide my decision making every day, and I will speak freely to them.

I never ran for personal gain or a political career and all of my achievements and public service prior to being elected were done without party affiliation. Working directly alongside community and bringing your voice to the table, is where I do my best work.

As always, continue to reach out as needed.
