Priorities we share

Geoff has always focused on the things that matter most to local residents – ensuring that Monash Council is not distracted by the mission creep some other councils get carried away with.  He has the priorities we share.

2002Priorities we share

  1. Low rates
  2. Focusing on core council functions, not mission creep
  3. Protecting our neighbourhoods from inappropriate development
  4. Transforming Kingsway
  5. Fighting for rate reform to stop ‘bill shock’ caused by skyrocketing property prices
  6. A new 800 to 1,200 space FREE car park on Montclair Avenue in the heart of Kingsway
  7. Backing residents over unfair Council red tape
  8. A Council working efficiently for us
