One of the two predominantly rural wards, Sugarloaf is currently held by PALS-aligned Cr Jane Ashton, who is not standing for re-election. We recommend
Don Vincent: a fresh face with decades of infrastructure management experience, private and public, international and local. Don stands for preserving the green wedge and the rural character of the Shire, for sound financial management and for addressing bushfire risk. Member/Volunteer with Friends of Warrandyte State Park.
Ben Ramcharan: a strong advocate for the protection of our green wedge and the environment. Committed to protecting the local character of Nillumbik from inappropriate development. Other priorities are road safety for both people and wildlife, and local action on climate change. Member of local groups including Warrandyte Community Association, Nillumbik Greens and Nillumbik Climate Emergency Action Team.
We recommend you do not vote for Narelle Campbell, Janet Holmes or Damien Crock. We believe these candidates are likely to work to undermine the planning controls which protect the green wedge from inappropriate development and subdivision.
