A Message From Councillor Steve Ring
I believe that I have made my presence felt in the chamber where I am content to play devils advocate and question everything that is tabled. I vote according to my conscience, research and what I believe to be in the best interest of our community.
The only promise I made make to our community is that:
If elected I will act with integrity, vote as individuals and make decisions that I consider to be in the best interest of our community.
You may not always agree with the decisions that we make but they will be based on research, asking questions and listening to community members. I am committed to always making time to listen and talk with community.
My vision for the next four years. What we can look forward to by 2029:
- The Local Evolving Economy Plan has been reviewed, revised and is delivering positive outcomes for our community.
- The Foundations, Portland is a hive of activity with up to 200 blocks of land sold and construction of houses underway, a sustainable commercial use of the historic precinct has been successfully implemented
- Greenspot has successfully rezoned its site, the Shell battery has been completed, and work is commencing on the construction of several new businesses. Civil engineering works are underway to develop a significant new housing estate.
- All pavers in Main Street Lithgow have been replaced with new concrete footpaths. New boutique outlets are now operating successfully.
- Upgrades to the Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area have been completed and have had a significant impact on growing commercial tourism opportunities in our community.
- Council have successfully enhanced their customer service role and are actively engaging with our community.
- The Wolgan Road is nearing completion and residents and businesses have been provided all necessary support by Council.
