Cr Diedree Steinwall

I am excited to be elected to my fourth consecutive term on Sutherland Shire Council, having first been elected to council in 2012. I thank the community for their support and will continue to work hard during this next term to deliver the infrastructure and services that make the Shire the best place to live and work.

I am passionate about keeping residents informed about council decision making and spend much time speaking to residents, emailing and communicating via social media. I also seek to ensure local parks, playgrounds, sporting fields and leisure centres are fit for purpose and well-maintained and will look for every opportunity to add to the services and infrastructure residents need.

With a strong interest in exploring solutions for more innovative waste technologies and practices, I also maintain a keen focus on the need to support affordable housing, parking and pedestrian safety measures – particularly surrounding our major town centres. I will continue to listen and fight for residents’ concerns.

My vision for the Sutherland Shire is one of a vibrant and active community which is proud of its rich local heritage, protective of its bushland environment and works towards a more sustainable future. I am honoured to play a small part in that process.

As resident of Heathcote for more than 40 years, a local high school teacher, Justice of the Peace and someone who has been actively involved in many local sporting and charitable groups over many years, I feel that I am very much part of my community.
