The Verrall family moved into Seaview Downs over 20 years ago. I served 2006-2014 as a Central Ward councilor and influenced the design and development of, the Aquatic Centre, the Murray Darling plan (on time/on track), and the Seaview High School Board (fundraising/pedal prix). Whilst working as a Technical High School teacher of STEM subjects, I was appointed Sports Master, to supervise, coach, and coordinate many individual athletes and teams. We shared school, Port Adelaide Council, and private facilities. I managed all "on field" incidents and followed up every "away" incident after consulting fellow Masters Association members. Many individuals and teams competed successfully locally and interstate. Add a family friendly, sportsman, lifetime community worker, IT professional, retired senior business change manager, to the elected members.

Growing up in a rural town in a large family I understand how important our 'village' is. My husband Pete and I love raising our two children Jack and Mexie here while enjoying every aspect of our beautiful surrounds and beaches. Our small business has enabled us to meet both residents and tourists alike, as well as bringing people together. We have been showered with support and I would love the opportunity to give back and serve this community as it is so close to my heart. I believe we have a strong, forward thinking council and it is a very exciting time to be on board! I have no personal agenda, except to support decisions which are beneficial to the community. Over the past 10 years I have served on various community groups including The NNYE Pageant, The Fleurieu Coast Business Association and The Yank Youth Advisory Committee. Contact Details: |
