He wants to see the City support residents in being more sustainable through practical and cost effective means that are already available in the wider community. Please contact Dan on any issue – he is here to listen!

Jonathan is a long-term resident of South Ward and a Senior Lecturer at Curtin University teaching public health and social policy. He loves living in Vincent and wants to see our suburbs develop in a way that keeps our community strong and protects our environment.

Local government affects us every day in so many ways; the streetscapes outside our front doors, our local parks and amenities, our vibrant village hubs and the cultural and creative events that connect us and contribute to our diversity. Jonathan wants Vincent to be a City where everyone is made to feel welcome, where local businesses thrive, and where our environment and community services are protected.

He brings to Vincent experience in policy, community engagement and governance. Jonathan is a Council Member of the Sustainability and Transport Advisory Group and also represents the City of Vincent on the Main Roads' Metropolitan Regional Road Group and the Climate Emergency Australia Strategic Advisory Group.
