I would be honoured to have the opportunity to represent the interests of my community in which I live with my wife and children and understand its strengths and weaknesses. This is why I want to be part of the decision-making process, to help make this the best it can be for everyone. I am a hard worker, starting with my Bachelor's degree in Engineering to my Masters in Environmental Sciences, leading to more than ten years' experience working in public and private sector in a large variety of roles. Currently, I hold a Senior Engineering position in the state Government looking after SA's pristine coastline. I'm driven to improve the quality of life for local residents by bettering facilities, advocating sustainable improvements and creating a more liveable neighbourhood. I'll commit to applying my skills in a genuine effort to represent our stakeholders. Let me be your fresh voice. Contact details: 0491 667 685 |

Enfield Ward has been my home since arriving in Australia as a child. I hold an Honours Degree in Commerce and Economics and Finance Degree, working as a Consultant on improving business processes. I will bring these skills to Council to listen to you, minimise waste and keep rates low. I have a proven track record of delivering community services, including as Treasurer of Kids Arthritis, helping to re-establish local Neighbourhood Watch, ensuring our rates are spent in our local community again, and keeping 'Enfield' in the Council name. Council must lessen issues caused by subdividing land, immediately commence Local Area Traffic Management programs where needed, and stop hoons. I am Independent, because I want to represent you, not party politics. Email Contact details: 0431 131 161 |

Seeing the growing issues in our community, such as irresponsible development, congestion and street parking, the growing burden of taxes, cost of living and housing unaffordability, rubbish dumping and recycling practices, maintenance and upkeep of our: roads, footpaths, verges and parks; made me think about what can I do to make a difference? Is it too much to ask for our community to be treated and serviced with the same priority as the Port and other areas? I am the candidate that recognises these problems and is willing to relentlessly fight to bring about a change. Let's say no to the status quo. I know why I am running, and I know what we can accomplish for our community. So here I am, asking for your support. Thank you for taking the time to vote. You can reach me day or night at 0490 659 468. Contact details: |

Dear Residents, Paul, for over 25 years in roles of a local Councillor and Disability Advocacy has enjoyed a close relationship with his community establishing confidence and trust by serving resident's interests. Paul has an appreciation on what our community expects and demands from councils essentially value for rates and charges being paid. We now have an opportunity to better place the interests of Enfield's residents back on council's agenda. Enfield needs an experienced and independent voice fighting for residents to ensure community amenities such as paths, roads, verges, recreation facilities are appropriately managed and improved whilst scrutinising council's budgets to allow for these challenges. Paul has a proven history of being accessible and reliable when called upon. Such values demonstrate a commitment to residents, local schools, recreational and community groups when needing representation to deal with their local council. Please, Vote 1 Paul Barbaro - Your Effective and Independent Voice. Contact details: 0410 517 295 |

If elected and being a resident in Enfield Ward my passion and focus would be to stand up for local people's much-needed services. I believe our rates should be spent on essential services like footpaths, roads, reserves, parks, improving safety in the neighbourhood and supporting local businesses to boost the economy. Through doorknocking I have become aware of what is important to local people: hoon driving and overcrowded street parking were some of the resident concerns. To help make our suburbs safer I will work with Council to introduce portable CCTV cameras in hoon driving and illegal dumping hotspots. I am active in several local communities. I believe that we need to grow and develop our community in a way that serves our community. Let's get the basics right before funding extravagance. I am available via 0484200111. Please support me by Voting 1 Ali Hussaini. Contact details: |

I am running for council because I want to give something back to the community I call home. I am passionate about helping people live life to the fullest, and making our city beautiful and safe. As a renter and labourer, I will advocate for council initiatives that work towards creating a fairer, more equal and united community that benefits ordinary people rather than vested interests. Councils must prepare for the future, and so their elected members should include young, progressive voices. I am determined to promote a culture of consultation and transparency, and will engage meaningfully and openly with residents. Local government candidates aren't often upfront about their political affiliations, but I am a member of the Greens and have been endorsed by the party. I believe it is important you know this so you can make an informed decision when voting. Contact details: 0434 815 324 |

My priorities are improving our footpaths so they are safer for elderly and frail people and people in gophers or wheelchairs; traffic management plans to slow traffic and discourage rat-runners avoiding traffic lights by speeding through local streets; installing C.C.T.V. in crime hot spots so Council can take tough action against criminals and hoon drivers; improving safety with better street lighting; whole-of-street planting of shady trees to lower local temperature and encourage residents to play their part by planting their verges with flowers, herbs and vegetables; discouraging high rise apartments springing up on our main roads and streets; and keeping in touch with you regularly, not just at election time. I work as a Chartered Accountant and will bring those skills to Council's budget, with a view to keeping rate increases below inflation. I live in Broadview and am a member of the Australian Labor Party. Contact details: 0448 258 279 |

As the father of four, now adult sons, I have always been interested, involved and sponsored many sporting groups Peninsula wide. I will continue to live locally. I am passionate about future development and subsequent growth of the tourism, business and rural sectors.
