Chrissy de Deugd

Councillor for Colac Otway Shire Council

Hi, I'm chrissy.

I am an enthusiastic environmentalist and community builder with a deep and unwavering commitment to our region. I’m eager and ready to work with the community, fellow councillors and staff to find solutions to build our community to its potential.

I am committed to preserving and protecting our pristine ecosystems, promoting sustainable eco-tourism that benefits our local economy, and advocating for social justice and equality. 

We need to protect and invest in community facilities such as childcare, libraries and healthcare. To support our strong local agriculture industry, I’ll work with farmers transitioning into sustainable practices, helping to close loops in manufacturing and investing in our pristine natural beauty to increase ecotourism and economic growth to our stunning shire.

I will bring a fresh perspective and unwavering dedication to representing our community's interests on council. I will work tirelessly to amplify the voices of all residents and ensure that decisions are made with transparency, integrity, and a commitment to long-term sustainability and community development.

It would be an honour for me to advocate for our community. Your vote is powerful.
