Independent for Maranoa Ward, Boroondara
Genuine consultation with better transparency free from party politics
Responsible spending to keep rates low
Better transport - reduce traffic congestion by improving public transport and making walking and bike trips safer.
Healthy community - more community gardens and thriving local shopping centres
Care for the environment - increase our tree canopy and get more solar panels on roofs, protect heritage and significant trees
Security and safety - our houses and streets must be kept safe and secure
Residents are telling me they would like improved consultation with Council and better communication on local issues and Council decisions.
People want a renewed focus on improving council services, including better maintenance of local streets, support for "age in place" and youth services.
If elected as your councillor I will strive to keep you better informed about Council's services, activities and decisions.
I am not a member of any political party.
I will be your voice on Council.
Philip Mallis, former Boroondara councillor. "As a former Maranoa Ward councillor I support Peter Campbell for the upcoming election. I have known Peter for over a decade. He brings local understanding, a genuine concern for community issues and a proven history of input into many different projects. I encourage you to vote 1 Peter Campbell."
Heinz Kreutz, former Boroondara councillor. "I have known Peter Campbell for well over a decade. During my time as Boroondara Councillor (Lynden ward, 2002-2016)) and Mayor, I had many opportunities and the distinct privilege of working with Peter on several community working groups and expert panels. I have always found Peter’s expertise and enthusiasm very impressive. Whenever we needed frank, fearless, and unbiased input from the community, Peter put his hand up on many occasions to participate and offer a genuine view from a community grassroots perspective. Peter understands our community’s priorities better than any of the other candidates I have met."
Adjunct Professor Hon Dr Ken Coghill. "Peter has impressed me as one of Boroondara's most active volunteers and most effective citizens since I first got to know him over a decade ago. Peter really is someone who “walks the talk” and gets things done, whether encouraging and helping people to live sustainably, in a rescue team searching for someone lost in the bush, or working to make cycling safer for the community. Peter offers real leadership in Boroondara if elected as Councillor for Maranoa ward.
Roger Buckle - Managing Director, RAPP Australia. "Pete, I have known you for over 40 years. If anyone would be great at being on council, in fact in any representative roll you have got to be one of the best for that job. You are a very smart, honest and values led person and I know you would make a great councilor. Good luck mate, the community will be all the better for having you represent them. Good luck."
