Jana Sarantis

As an Osteopath and business owner, my job is to listen to people and help them achieve their health goals. This is what I plan to do for you as your Councillor to achieve the goals of the community. I will be accountable, transparent, responsive, and take responsibility for my decisions. I will lead based on assessing all the facts and community sentiment of each issue on a case by case basis. I value the communities feedback and will be guided by you. I would like to drive a positive change in Council culture and rebuild trust with the community. I aim to act on reducing cost of living pressures for our ratepayers.
Investing in our infrastructure, roads and improving housing supply is vital. Investing in better services, particularly in early education/childhood development to better prepare our children for their futures, including my own two children. Being proactive on protecting our natural environment, ensuring our community gets maximum benefits from the transition to renewable energy by strongly lobbying for better community profit sharing, adequate compensation for land owners and adapting to climate change in our region. Supporting our small businesses to thrive and ensuring economic sustainability for the years ahead.
