Tatiara District Council – Area Councillor 

BROWN, Debbie

Having lived in Padthaway for 25 years and raised my family here, I have been actively involved in various community, church, children's and sporting groups over the years. Volunteering is a vital part of any country community and I am currently President of the Padthaway Progress Association. I worked as Finance Officer at Padthaway Primary School for several years, before becoming more involved in our farming, vineyard and wine business. Country towns are facing many challenges moving forward and I am passionate about issues such as housing, employment, healthcare and childcare. Regional communities need to be vibrant, providing a range of vital and interesting services to encourage people to move here and enrich our communities with their skills and passions. If elected, I look forward to serving our community, striving to upgrade and maintain our community facilities by ensuring Council decisions reflect our current and future needs. I live in the Area (Tatiara District Council).
