On

of
this
land
and
pay
respect
to
their
Elders
past
present
and
future
I
asked
councilors
to
remain
standing
for
the
council
commitment.
Others

We

My
connection
to
Green
Bank
begins
with
my
maternal
grandparents,
who
migrated
from
Malta
to
Australia
in
the
1950s
and
settled
in
sunshine
West.
My
mother,
Tess,
a
community
advocate,
has
lived
in
sunshine
West,
her
whole
life.
My
father
first
came
to
Sunshine
traveling
from
country
Victoria
for
employment
in
the
1970s
I,
come
from
a
diverse
working-class,
family
and
I'm
a
proud
third
generation.
Lifelong
resident
of
brimbank
I
am
proud
to
continue.
C
My
family's
Legacy
of
giving
back
to
the
community
I
have
served
on
the
brimbank
youth
Council
for
two
terms
in
2020
in
2021
and
graduated
from
the
brimbank
community
leadership
program.
Last
December
I've
also
been
involved
in
digitally
engaging
with
the
community,
as
well
as
initiatives
focused
on
crime
prevention,
languages,
education
and
mental
health.
C
C
That
I
want
to
be
here
and
I
understand
our
local
issues
and
the
functions
of
local
government.
For
my
timing,
Council
I
would
like
to
create
further
opportunities
for
authentic
Community
engagement
and
provide
my
support
for
Council
advocacy
priorities
with
the
upcoming
Melbourne
Airport
Rail
Link.
Our
population
is
expected
to
increase
significantly
over
the
following
decades
and
we
need
additional
amenities
to
support
this
growth,
particularly
in
health,
transport
and
education.
C
I
want
to
see
a
green
bank
that
is
more
beautiful,
safer
and
resourced,
which
values,
amenities,
Services,
sustainable
developments
and
more
Open,
Spaces
I
believe
in
a
Community
First
Council
that
takes
into
account
our
history,
Our
Heritage
and
the
needs
and
perspectives
of
local
voices
in
decision
making.
Thank
you
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
