We are excited to announce that our Community & Education Coordinator, Bronwyn Ife, has been elected as a councillor for the Town of Victoria Park! Here’s what she had to say about it:

After hearing of plans that threatened my local park, home to mature Tuart trees and endangered red-tailed black cockatoos, I was inspired to run for council, on a platform of protecting precious community green spaces and better public consultation. 

I was the only woman candidate in a field of six in Jarrah Ward, and was elected for a four year term for my ward.  I received the most votes – 1792, from 3734 ballot papers. 

With the results in both wards electing 3 women (a total of 4 positions were elected), we have taken the Town of Victoria Park Council from 3 women and 6 men to 6 women and 3 men.
