Hi, I'm melanie

As a local parent and dedicated community builder, I strive for a safe, thriving, and vibrant Darebin.

I envision Darebin leading in active transport, fostering arts and innovative businesses, and ensuring inclusive, sustainable growth. Safe housing, safe transport, and a safe climate are my priorities for a thriving community. Council run services such as the libraries and maternal health services have been so important to me as a new parent and for my family building our network in the community. 

Darebin’s green spaces and vibrant community is what makes it such a wonderful place to live - but we still have work to do. I’m committed to supporting Council services to help people meet the challenges of climate change, housing stress, and cost of living pressures.

With your support, we can help Darebin thrive. Your vote is powerful.
