With votes to be counted on Saturday and Sunday campaigning for the Maroondah Council elections is drawing to a close.

As such I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my campaign particularly the overwhelming number of volunteers who assisted in letterboxing and printing.

As a result we have run a campaign that has focused on the real issues facing residents and ratepayers in Loughnan’s Hill Ward and Maroondah. Not only have we focused issues such as anti-graffiti measures, inappropriate development and lack of accountability but we also provided solutions to resolving these issues.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone that took the opportunity to speak with me either when I was doorknocking or over the telephone or via email. It is your feedback and discussion that provided the input and comments to ensure that we can create a better Maroondah.

Thanking you,

Alex Makin
