THE LAUNCESTON WE WANT
Housing Affordability
Make the CBD Great Again
Make the CBD Great Again
Launceston Council must plan to increase our housing stock for everyone, not just the top end of town. This means woking directly with state and federal governments to ensure we have a great mix of appropriate initiatives.

Creating CBD and suburban centre green spaces, ensuring parking is accessible and affordable, and enhancing genuine alternative transport options is vital to bring people back to the CBD.

Local Economy, International Reputation
By creating Launceston's Homeless Action Plan, I want Launceston to be the best city in Australia in its response to those who are homeless, no matter what their circumstance.

Attracting the right businesses and investment to Launceston also means attracting a growing workforce. Whether it is tourism, retail or manufacturing, we must become the destination of choice for business, industry and tourism.
Adventure North
Local Economy, International Reputation
Keeping Launceston Green
A vibrant Launceston, with bountiful produce, beautiful scenery and unique built heritage is the adventure destination of the north. Launceston has so much to capitalise upon: we are unique, accessible, friendly and one of the most liveable cities in Australia.

Keeping Launceston Green
We love our parks, trees and natural spaces: Launceston is already a green city. But there are many areas that could be transformed to make us more resilient in a time of climate change.
Protecting our Heritage
A Liveable & Vibrant Launceston
A Liveable & Vibrant Launceston
Many of the buildings and places we would think have heritage protection don't, as there are serious gaps in the various local and state listings. Consequently, we still see buildings destroyed, removing this unique fabric from our city.

Our liveability is threatened by increased traffic flow and inappropriate development. Long term planning is needed if we are to protect, and enhance, our enviable easy way of life.

Appropriate development considers the impact upon the whole community. We need to tighten our laws around the impact of unwanted development, to ensure that developers listen to community concerns.
Restoring the Tamar River
Aboriginal Partnership City
Launceston Developments
The kanamaluka/Tamar River has been poorly treated: water flow reduction, pollution, and upstream sediment release. Allowing nature to return it to equilibrium means increased water flow and restoring tidal flats.

Over the past four years, I have brought Launceston Council on a journey to listen to, and learn from, the first Tasmanians, the palawa people of lutruwita/Tasmania.
