Interview with Cr Teti

Why did you run for Council?

To bring about a change in the direction at Council. Our council must do the basics well first, in order to then make progress in other areas. I would like to be part of a back to basics campaign throughout our entire community. 

What do you see as the top five issues facing Council over the next four years?

1. Cleansing our city from litter, rubbish, and graffiti to restore our civic pride.
2. The desperate need to maintain and upgrade roads, footpaths and community facilities.
3. Council needs to keep rates as low as possible in these trying times.
4. Struggling pensioners and seniors will need quality tailored Council services to prevent social isolation and encourage active lifestyles.
5. Vigilant maintenance of trees and shrubs to stop them from overgrowing.

Name three things you want this Council to achieve in the next four years

1. A safe and clean city
2. Renewed and upgraded roads and footpaths
3. Improved social services that serve residents to improve their quality of life - particularly our seniors.

What is your vision for Moreland?

A council defined by fairness and decency through delivering high quality services and community facilities whilst eliminating wasteful Council spending. 

What are you main interests outside Council?

Fishing Port Phillip Bay, Camping in various locations around Vic, Dirt Bike riding and go-karts. 

What community activities in Moreland have you been involved in?

What are some of your favourite things about Moreland?
