I regularly enjoy using the parks, facilities and local businesses with my wife, our three sons and our dog Luna. If elected I would advocate for responsible and sustainable development to ensure that the character of the area and lifestyle on offer is maintained. I am committed to supporting local business, have a keen interest in planning, sustainability and advocating for the local issues that affect members of our community.

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. At the 2018 Marion election all eligible voters were sent papers. 1 in 4 voted! At this by-election everyone vote. 1 Verrall. Now! Contact details: 8296 7690 |
