VOTE FOR CHANGE
Genuine community candidates for a better Council
Vote for change for a better Council.
We believe change is needed at Georges River Council. The voice of the community has fallen on deaf ears on too many issues.
And that is why we have formed the Georges River Residents and Ratepayers Party, so residents can vote for change and vote for true community-minded candidates for a better council. It's time for action and it’s time to change the Council!
Vote for Georges River Residents and Ratepayers in September.

We will put the community first
We are true local community representatives, who will work together for the community for a better council. All of our candidates are genuine community candidates free to make decisions for the community and free from the influence of major parties. Most importantly, we are not politicians but simply active, proud local community members who want to give a voice back to the people.
We believe decision-making needs to be made by locals representing their community (not bureaucrats!).
Stop overdevelopment & ensure future planning benefits the wider community.
Better financial management for improved services.
Protection of the natural environment and open spaces.
Get Involved
We believe having true community-minded residents elected to council will be the only way to see change and have our voices heard. But we can’t do it alone.
We need your help
We need your support. We don’t have the backing of the major parties. We are calling on those passionate about their community to help in any way you can.
Can you pitch in?
Every little bit helps.
