PARRAMATTA COUNCIL ELECTIONS - PARRAMATTA WARD<br />
in hotly contested area<br />
Ward offers plenty to debate ahead of this Saturday’s Council election<br />
“Despite my objections, a majority of<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Councillors have voted to<br />
allow buildings of up to 67 storeys high to<br />
be built over the next few years.<br />
“We need to have people on the Council<br />
who will ensure that new developments<br />
don’t destroy what we love about<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta and what makes it such a great<br />
place to live.<br />
“We need people who will protect the<br />
community’s interests, not just increase<br />
the profits of wealthy developers. The next<br />
few years will be absolutely crucial.”<br />
Our Local Community candidate Henry<br />
Green will also put his hand up, joined<br />
by running mates Alan Sexton and Jason<br />
Garrard.<br />
Mr Green is a retired businessman who<br />
lives in the South <strong>Parra</strong>matta heritage<br />
precinct.<br />
He is passionate about maintaining and<br />
preserving heritage and improving infrastructure.<br />
“I want to try and bring back a little bit<br />
of common sense to the Council,” he said.<br />
“I live in a heritage conservation area<br />
and I have been fighting for heritage preservation<br />
for many years.<br />
“I am also interested in improving footpaths,<br />
particularly around Toongabbie.”<br />
The Liberal Democrats will make their<br />
only City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta appearance in the<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Ward, with Constitution Hill<br />
residents Charles and Hugo Rios throwing<br />
their hats in the ring.<br />
Sitting Liberal Councillor Martin Zaiter<br />
will not recontest as an independent.<br />
2017 election results in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
Ward saw the Liberal Party take out 32.1<br />
per cent of votes, Labor held <strong>30</strong> per cent,<br />
The Greens held 13.13, and OLC 9.3 per<br />
cent.<br />
With the absence of the Liberal brand,<br />
conservative ratepayers will be looking<br />
elsewhere to place their vote, providing<br />
a unique opportunity for conservative<br />
independents like the OLC to increase<br />
representation in the <strong>Parra</strong>matta Ward.<br />
