Dear Montague Ward,

What a journey – but together we did it! This afternoon I was declared as the successful candidate for Montague Ward in the Port Phillip City Councils of 2024.

I could not have done this without your support, and I thank everyone for having the confidence in me to serve as your elected representative. Running as a candidate in the 2024 Council elections was not part of any grand plan that I had but was simply the result of many persistent members of the community who kept asking me to stand.

Once the community convinced my wife Natalia, that I should nominate, I finally agreed and here we are!

Any elected Councillor is only as good as the community around them. Please reach out to me to discuss the good and the bad around Council. Honest community feedback is what keeps a Councillor grounded and accountable – don’t hesitate in speaking with me as I’m around Bay Street, walking Lady and Duchess along our dog parks, or anywhere else in Port Phillip.

We’re on a journey together – let’s ensure we have a focused Council that delivers the very best for our community.
