Our Guiding Principles
GRRRP are authentically driven by community interests. We make decisions solely with the community's welfare in mind, with the freedom to put the community first.
To keep delivering this positive change, we rely on your support to secure re-election for our GRRRP Councillors.
These are our guiding principles.
Fairness and equity.
In local government, fairness and equity are not just ideals; they're guiding principles shaping every decision we make.
We believe that every voice deserves to be heard, every perspective considered, and every community represented.
Through transparent processes and inclusive dialogue, we strive to make decisions and create policies and initiatives that provide opportunity for all residents.
Open and transparent governance.
At the heart of our role as Councillors lies a steadfast commitment to open and transparent governance. We believe that the trust of our community is earned through honesty, accessibility, and accountability.
Every decision we make is rooted in this principle, ensuring that the public has full visibility into our processes, deliberations, and outcomes. By fostering a culture of openness, we invite constructive participation from all stakeholders, empowering residents to engage meaningfully in shaping the future of our community.
Transparency isn't just a value we uphold; it's the cornerstone of our democratic responsibility as decision-makers.
Keeping the community informed of decision-making.
We understand that navigating council processes and issues can be complex. That's why we are dedicated to keeping the community informed in clear and accessible language. We strive to break down complex topics into easily understandable terms, ensuring that everyone can stay informed about what's happening in our local government and the decisions we make that affect you.
By providing straightforward explanations and timely updates, we empower you to voice your concerns and participate in decision-making when needed. Our goal is to ensure that you have the information you need to engage meaningfully in shaping the future of our community.
Sound financial decision-making to benefit whole community.
We believe in sound financial decision-making that benefits the entire community. We are committed to fair and equitable distribution of funding across our entire area, ensuring that every neighbourhood and community group has access to resources to thrive. Whether it's supporting essential services, infrastructure projects, or community and sporting groups, we prioritise fairness and equality in allocating resources. By spreading funding evenly and transparently, we strive to create a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone can prosper.
Protection of natural environment and open spaces.
Nestled amidst Sydney's serene landscape, our community enjoys the pristine waters of the Georges River, picturesque foreshores, and lush bushland. We treasure these natural environs for our well-being and future generations' enjoyment.
Our mission is to protect these precious landscapes and ensure public open spaces remain freely accessible for recreation. By preserving these areas, we foster a connection with nature and promote healthy lifestyles.
We work with government agencies to implement sustainable practices that improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and maintain our waterways' ecological balance. Through proactive conservation and collective stewardship, we aim to uphold the natural beauty and ecological integrity of our surroundings for generations to come.
Development is well-planned and sustainable.
We recognise the need for well-planned development to accommodate our growing population while maintaining the livability of Georges River. New developments should blend seamlessly with existing neighbourhoods and enhance community appeal.
Robust infrastructure—transport, schools, parks, and healthcare—is crucial. We will advocate for essential investments from State and Federal governments.
Development should be diverse and high quality, offering a range of housing options from single-family homes, villas and townhouses, to modern apartments. This ensures everyone can find a home that suits their lifestyle.
By focusing on diversity, integration, infrastructure, and strategic planning, we aim to create vibrant, livable communities for all residents now and in the future.
