Our Vision
That our community of Nicholls is actively participating in the Australian democratic process with a representative who is committed to this region, is respectful and always acts with integrity. He or she recognises the power of community working with government, listens to all voices and values diversity. Our representative will balance local needs with larger national priorities: short term gains against long term outcomes.
