About Councillor White

As your elected representative, I will be your advocate, ensuring your concerns are addressed, your ideas are considered, and our community thrives.

Having arrived 15 years ago, I now live in Lake Hayes Estate with my two children (7 and 3 years). I enjoy running, walking, skiing and generally being outside soaking up all our natural beauty. 

I believe in fostering a sense of unity, inclusivity, and progress, ensuring that no voice is left unheard. It is important to me that your concerns are at the forefront of our decision-making process.

My goal is to represent and advocate for our wonderfully diverse community. Together, we can build a district that thrives on transparency, accountability, and progress.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any concerns you would like to share.
