NEWMAN, Jason

I am a proud Moorak resident, where I live with my partner Melissa and our four children. I've had a wide variety of experience within the government and business sectors, operating my own large scale hospitality businesses for over 15 years. I was fortunate enough to be awarded a Telstra Small Business Award in 2012 and was an inaugural member of the NT Business Advisory Committee. I am currently the interim chairman of the NYE Festival Committee and a committee member on several other sporting and volunteer organisations in the region. If elected, I will bring a pragmatic and common sense approach to council. I will make evidence based decisions and engage with ratepayers to make sure council is operating in their best interest. For me Local Government operates best when it works within its core business of Economic Development, Roads, Rates and Rubbish.
