Turner
My aim in standing for Council is to contribute to the Eurobodalla community by understanding and representing the diverse views of the community from the north to the south of our widespread shire. I will work to earn your support and commit to protect and enhance the natural beauty and amazing biodiversity of our beaches and forests for the benefit of us all as part of a sustainable economy.
Charlie Bell
I want us to build on the work of past Greens Councillors to implement Greens policies to protect our native flora and fauna, and to make Eurobodalla a more compassionate and sustainable Shire. In Eurobodalla we need better development planning to maintain more tree cover, provide better walking and cycling pathways, and to improve affordable housing options.
Joslyn
van der Moolen
As Secretary of Coastwatchers I aim to use my extensive land management experience to support Eurobodalla Council. I am committed to ending native forest logging and ensuring tourism remains the main economic driver on our beautiful south coast.
Since the Black Summer fires I have been working with the Eurobodalla rural community implementing bushfire recovery projects.

I'm an Emergency Room registered nurse and witness on a daily basis the profound health effects and trauma of rapidly accelerating climate change on our community. I'm proud to be a member of our local community, and am prepared to 'walk the talk' in restoring and protecting our magnificent South Coast beaches and forests.
