Justine Hide nominates for Grampians Ward in NGSC local government elections
What made me decide to run for council? Was it the day I met up with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese or the time I was hanging out at Parliament House in Canberra with opposition leader Peter Dutton? Nope.
It was a hiker I met while transferring them from Halls Gap to Mt Zero, a woman who was a councillor from another part of Victoria.
After chatting (solving the world's problems) for 45 minutes, at the end - she said, "You should be on council" and from that day it has made me think - and now is the time to take action.
I'm excited to announce my candidacy for the Grampians Ward.
It would be an honour to collaborate with fellow councillors to focus on the broader vision and shape the future of our region for the next generation.
Calling this beautiful area home for a decade, my journey across Australia and around the world has enriched my experience in tourism, healthcare, and business operations.
Running a local business here has deepened my connection to the community, giving me firsthand insight into its unique needs and vast potential.
As we look to the future, our region needs fresh, energetic, and engaging representatives who address key concerns but also champion sustainable economic development & regenerative resource efficiency.
I have the people skills, I am grounded in the community, and I am committed to good governance, strategic planning, and making decisions that prioritize the best outcomes for everyone.
For years, I've been actively listening and engaging with our community, gathering direct feedback. Now, it's time to put that passion into action. As a mother, foster parent, businesswoman, and dedicated member of this community, I believe it's time for a new voice, vision, and values in the Northern Grampians Shire. Vote 1 Justine Hide.
