About Steve
Thank you for voting last year allowing me to bring my grassroots experience and unique blend of corporate & community leadership to Council.
​​
I'm not influenced by any political party or funded by big business which means I can be your voice on council without any conflict of interest or need to be excused from voting with the exception of motions associated with my personal property & office.
​​
I'm a strong advocate for small business which is why I'm 100% funding my own campaign using companies based in the City of Perth.
​​
For almost a decade I've been a volunteer community leader of Neighbourhood Groups, Sporting Associations & Advisory Bodies. Over that time I've championed parking reforms, small business grants, events, infrastructure improvements, start-ups, empty space activations & guided tours.
As a resident and ratepayer in the City of Perth my partner & I have chaired four council of owner boards, working to build positive living/working relations between owners & strata agents.
​
I'm dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Perth through sustainable practices, community engagement, and innovative urban development. ​My mission is to create a vibrant and inclusive city that prioritizes the well-being of its residents and the environment.
​
The past 10 months representing you on Council has been a humbling positive and busy experience. I've successfully raised and had passed motions from my very first to my most recent Council Meeting. Something almost unheard of for a first year Councillor but it is a reflection of how I operate collaboratively between the community & my fellow Councillors to ensure my motions are sensible, balanced & destined to produce a positive tangible outcome.​
​
Now I need Your Vote to keep ensuring our City maintains that Next Step
towards a brighter, safer, more prosperous future for everyone.

Please Vote for TRUTH & TRUST
not POLITICAL SPIN!
The 2025 election campaign has unfortunately seen a
significant increase in sneaky politics by candidates
desperate to enter local government.
We have candidates claiming to be independent although
they have temporarily resigned from major parties to
try and fool you, or have been members of
unsuccessful political party ballot stacking attempts
in prior election years.
We have ballot teams signaling out 'luxury' councilor travel expenditure led by those that have enjoyed
council travel to Europe but remain silent hoping you wont notice.
For clarity, in my first 6 months on council I was asked on short notice
to represent and speak on behalf of the Lord Mayor, the City of Perth,
WA & Australia at a global conference of government
& business leaders in Houston USA.
All my travel was booked by the city without my involvement, in accordance with the policy approved by the Council
prior to me becoming a sitting member.
This year please vote for the candidates who
you can trust with the truth
& have a track record of working for you.
