Hi, I’m
Alison Joseph
I have put myself forward to represent the Macedon
Ranges community in order to improve Council
outcomes for the residents of the Shire. I have a
Bachelor of Science and Master of Business, along with
extensive experience in public health, business, and
implementation of quality management systems. A
good listener, I will take the time to understand issues
and make decisions based on facts and I will seek
innovative solutions to complex issues.
My priorities include:
Ensuring planning decisions are consistent, fair and
made within a reasonable time frame
Delivering high quality services including roads,
footpaths, and rubbish.
Supporting local businesses
Managing Council finances, being efficient and
minimising the financial burden on the community
Preserving Macedon’s beautiful natural assets and
preventing inappropriate development.
Appropriately managing tourism events such as the
Autumn Festival to maximise community benefit
My vision is for a Council that engages in genuine
consultation, listens to the community and exceeds
community expectations.
A local for over 30 years, living sustainably and off-grid,
I will represent the people of the South Ward and the
community as a whole. I believe that Councillors are
there to serve the people who elect them and to
provide oversight and governance of the Council.
