Liz is looking forward to the challenges of the new Council and ranks her involvement in the delivery of the Angelo Anestis Aquatic Centre at Bexley, the award winning Rockdale Library and the extensive asset renewal program as key highlights of her tenure on Council.
One of the biggest challenges Liz says will be the State Government’s newest proposal for the F6 corridor. Liz will advocate for extensive consultation and a proposal that does not unduly impact on Bayside residents.
Liz has a track record of 28 years on Council having always attended meetings, being accessible, advocating on the residents’ behalf and having a genuine interest in her local community.

I am a lifelong resident of Bayside and its predecessors, with my family being residents and ratepayers in the area for over a century. With such a long and strong family connection, I am acutely attuned to the community’s values and expectations.
Following a career spanning 35 years at a large State-owned Corporation, predominantly managing personal injury claims under a self-insurance scheme, I turned my energy towards campaigning for a new Aquatic Centre at Bexley. I did this firstly as a resident and then as an elected Independent Councillor on the former Rockdale City Council from 2012 to 2016.
I was proud to be part of a group of residents and Councillors who fought tirelessly to deliver the Angelo Anestis Aquatic Centre at Bexley and the new Central Library at Rockdale, with both projects winning awards and bringing great benefits to the community.
I will continue to focus my attention on delivering the best possible facilities and services to the residents and ratepayers of Bayside.
