Mayor of North Sydney
Keeping Council in great financial shape |
Jilly’s strong leadership for over nine years has seen our North Sydney LGA flourish. Jilly leads a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and works full-time as your Mayor of North Sydney Council. Jilly has championed many initiatives that have improved the quality of life for local residents and small businesses. These include making our CBD, local plazas and parks smoke-free, as well as helping our small businesses bounce back from lockdown by introducing extra outdoor dining. We also drastically reduced parking infringements during lockdown. As Mayor, Jilly championed the redevelopment of our Olympic pool and ensured the preservation of heritage elements. Jilly has also ensured our CBD is being revitalised and transformed into an economically viable and sustainable city. A successful CBD provides jobs for local residents and means our residential rates stay low. Residents compliment Jilly on being highly visible in her community and always contactable. Jilly has a special interest in pedestrian safety and has focused on more pedestrian crossings, fast-tracking footpath repairs and additional lighting.
