Cr Carol Provan OAM

After 24 years of enjoying being a Councillor, I believe I still have more to contribute. I enjoy helping the community in their interactions with Council. I also want to help the newcomers to Council navigate the complexity of issues that arise.

I want to see Cronulla Mall upgrade completed and the iconic Gunnamatta Pavilion restored to its former beauty with a Cafe/Restaurant. A new Local Environment Plan is also due to be completed this term and this will be a challenge to meet the targets imposed on us.

My vision for the future of Sutherland Shire is to ensure we have a good balance between the requirements of development and ensuring we keep the character of the Shire. I want to see the tree canopy increase.

I have been a Fashion Stylist for major hotel groups and a Compere. I am a registered civil celebrant and Justice of the Peace.

I have been recognised by Local Government NSW for Service to the Community and I was also awarded an OAM in January 2024 for Service to the Community.

My interests and hobbies include walking, spending time with my grandchildren, enjoying our waterways - especially Port Hacking- and travelling.

I am a member of Civil Celebrants Association of Australia and a member of Cronulla RSL and Royal Motor Yacht Club.
