Joel is fighting for responsible local government and economic growth. He grew up outside the small country town of Childers and being the son of a farmer, he knows the importance of agriculture and that feeling of belonging from a tight knit community. He recognises the same passion for inclusion in all the towns and villages across Southern Downs.
Why we support Joel
Knowing Joel on a professional and a personal level it's easy to see he is one of the few public servants that genuinely serves and cares for the community. I think he'll make a great councillor as he stands by his word and is trustworthy, maybe he can help bring some transparency into the council.
Thanks for putting your hand up for local government Joel. We need passionate, well-informed and progressive minds creating a vision for our future. Look forward to seeing what you can offer to the mix.
I have worked with Joel, several years ago and found Joel to be a man of his word, and passionate with what he put his heart and mind too. Our conversation was always about how to do better not only in ourselves but for others, I feel voting for Joel, is a vote for change and improvement. Vote 1 for Joel.
As a former Member of State Parliament I am well aware of Joel’s excellent advocacy for the Southern Downs over many years for a wide range of issues. Joel is an active, experienced and involved member of his community. I am sure he would make an excellent Councillor for Southern Downs.
Over the last few years Joel has consistently challenged the council and the state government on issues that effect all of us on the Southern downs. From Water, Fuel pricing and housing to name a few. He is a strong advocate on protecting our local environment through sustainable development that contributes to and enhances all our community. He will bring fresh eyes, energy, integrity and a cooperative can-achieve attitude to our council.
It has become increasingly evident to me that Joel possesses a genuine passion for serving our community. Joel consistently demonstrates integrity in his actions, and his steadfast dedication to accomplishing tasks is truly commendable. His extensive knowledge and skill set undoubtedly positions him as a valuable asset to our community.
