Many thanks to everyone - our volunteers, supporters, donors and everyone that voted Green
A very big thanks to the Eurobodalla Greens members and candidates who campaigned together for a council that puts people and the planet first.

Alison Worthington
I’m running for Council because I want to work with other Councillors to restore transparency to, and rebuild trust in Council processes. The current Council has been found wanting when it comes to meaningful consultation with the community, transparency in process and accountability. I'm committed to increasing community participation in council decision making.
I care deeply about grassroots democracy, social justice and meaningful action on climate.
I want to know what you expect from Council. As a Councillor, I will be accessible, active and accountable to you.
