“The NSW planning system is already skewed towards developers. Councillors need to be an important independent voice against inappropriate commercial development of our local government area.
“I have no conflict of interest in my work as a councillor. If re-elected, I will continue to always act with integrity, honesty and in the interests of the broader community.
