Lucinda Regan (Bellevue Hill)
As a Councillor, Lucinda has advocated against overdevelopment and sought to preserve the special heritage and character of our area. She has called for improvements in our development controls, actively pursued difficult issues and pushed back against State Government policies.
Luise Elsing (Cooper)
Since Luise was first elected to Council in 2012 she has been passionate about protecting the individual rights of residents, the enjoyment of public places and the preservation of the heritage and character of our local neighbourhoods.
Mark Silcocks (Double Bay)
Mark was elected to Council in September 2019 as a Councillor for the Double Bay Ward, which covers Darling Point, Edgecliff, Double Bay and Point Piper. During the last 4 years he has worked tirelessly to ensure Woollahra Residents who have any issues or concerns are given a fair hearing on Council and get any problems resolved as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Harriet Price (Paddington)
Since her election to Council, Harriet’s dedication to Paddington remains unabated. Harriet was awarded the 2019 Sydney Electorate Woman of the year for her ongoing contribution to Paddington and beyond. The award recognised her advocacy on local issues – including the campaign to heritage list the Four in Hand Hotel and her work to return the Paddington Bowling Club Site to public use.
Merrill Witt (Vaucluse)
Merrill is a founding member of the Vaucluse West Residents Association. Over the past few years, she has worked closely with the neighbouring residents’ associations of Rose Bay and Double Bay to fight overdevelopment and lobby for better protection of heritage, local character, views, tree canopy and passive green space. Merrill wants to keep our parks friendly for dog walkers and free from commercialisation.
