Hi, I'm Emilie
I am running for election to bring a fresh, smart and more honest perspective to Council. My employment with Geelong Sustainability has given me a deep understanding of the City's policies and actions, particularly around climate change and social housing. I am a Geelong West resident, former primary and secondary school teacher, Treasurer at Cloverdale Community Centre and volunteer with local organisations. All these roles have given me invaluable insights into how we can build a better future for Geelong.
Geelong is in the midst of enormous change, as one of the fastest-growing cities in Australia. At the same time, our city faces urgent environmental and social challenges: the proposed Lara waste-to-energy incinerator and floating gas terminals, alongside a lack of housing and alternative transport options. Geelong’s growth is at a crossroads. We can either continue down the business-as-usual path of urban sprawl and heavy traffic; or we can build connected, sustainable, thriving neighbourhoods.
Let's build a better future for Geelong.
