I currently own and operate the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House, and have been actively involved in local tourism for the last 8 years. 

 

I have joined with three other members of our community to give you a team that is experienced, balanced and committed to the community.

 

The team consists of Jenny Bonfield, Ian Ovens, George Cecato and myself.

We offer

Experience in

·         Serving on local government

·         Representing this city at state and federal levels,

·         Financial management,

·         Representing the tourism industry at local and regional levels

·         Owning and operating small businesses

 

Balance in

·         Our representation of gender and ages

·         Views of working to sustainable grow our city

 

Committed to

·         Having open minds and ears 

·         Engaging the community

·         Creating a competitive regional centre 

·         Protecting the uniqueness of this fantastic city.   

 

Some of the challenges that face local council relate to managing a balanced budget,  understanding global economic and climate changes and how they impact upon our city, the provision of basic services and infrastructure while protecting the environment and open spaces as the population expands. 

 

A commitment of the team is the development of the jetty foreshore area. 

While the State government is undertaking this development, our team will ensure that the natural beauty of the foreshores is not compromised in building an economically sustainable development to further add to the appeal of Coffs Harbour as a destination.

 

I look forward to developing an approach to tourism that will assist the expansion of this industry that is so important to the city.

 

Team Bonfield brings experience, balance and commitment that will represent our industry and the community to build Coffs Harbour as a fantastic home and destination.
