STANTON, Diane

If elected I will strive to ensure that decisions made by the District Council of Mount Remarkable reflect the needs and wishes of the community. I have been a local resident of Port Germein for the past eleven years and am interested in making the area a better place to live, to bring up children and to retire. I was born in Tumby Bay, have been married for thirty years, have one married son and three grandchildren. I have worked in the area of Early Childhood Education and Care since 1996 and have a strong passion for preserving our environment and local history for future generations. I have previous experience as an Elected Member of the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula from 1993 - 1995. While in this role I served on the councils environmental, airport upgrade and emergency services committees.
