Angela would like to make Waverley more beautiful, more liveable for residents with improved public spaces, more green space and Public Art. She believes that Council should be easy to do business with and care and listen to its residents and make decisions based on consultation. That Council should maintain and upgrade infrastructure in a way that continually improves and makes residents proud of our area.

Angela is proud of her many achievements while on Waverley Council such as:

• Advocating strongly for families and children: being able to swim in the ocean during Covid-19 lockdown, bringing forward playground upgrades and initiating service standards for playground maintenance, closing side streets for children to play.
• As former Chair of the Access Advisory Committee Angela has continued to fight for accessibility and inclusion improvements to streets, footpaths, parks and public spaces and planning instruments: such as getting public toilets in Bondi Junction including an accessible toilet, updating the DCP controls to ensure that sufficient adaptable and accessible units are provided in all new apartment blocks, and that universal housing design standards are adopted.
• Supporting the communities fight against excessive height and overdevelopment and protecting our heritage areas.
