Anna Greco BCom, CA

 

I’m a local girl born and raised in our City of Willoughby. I was educated at St Leonards primary school, Naremburn, then at Willoughby Girls High School. I still live in our wonderful city of Willoughby with my husband Robert and my two daughters.

I’m not a politician-type person. I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and these days I run a small business as a health and exercise educator with a deep concern for community well-being

I am running for Naremburn Ward Councillor and for Willoughby Mayor, because I want to create a city that truly centres on its people, and where community needs and expectations are guiding principles.

I am committed to:

• Ensuring public land remains in public hands, free from privatization for commercial gain. This includes fighting to retain public land in the hospital precinct for hospital expansion.
• Working to preserve council-run child and youth services and support programs for people with disabilities and older adults.
• Supporting the arts, including Willoughby’s Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
• Addressing the needs of our culturally and linguistically diverse community.
• Insisting on transparency, accountability, and openness in all matters concerning residents of Willoughby City Council.
• Ensuring Willoughby Council delivers tangible benefits to ratepayers, particularly in light of the rate rise.
• Clearer financial reporting and reducing bureaucracy, including advocating for a commonsense approach to problem-solving.
• Ensuring public engagements like “Have Your Say” are shown to meaningfully inform Council decisions.
• Forming community lead steering committees for major council projects.
• Establishing policies for independent inquiries into controversial Council lead projects and other public interest matters.
• Prioritizing the protection of our environment and heritage, including sustainability initiatives, and promoting active transport solutions.

I would sincerely appreciate your help in my campaign for re-election as your Naremburn Ward Councillor and as your new Willoughby Council Mayor.

Thank so much

Anna.
