Statements by Upfield Corridor Coalition members standing for Moreland Council elections:
James Conlan
As a Greens candidate for the South Ward, my priorities are:
- Actively engaging with locals to ensure their voices are genuinely represented on council
- Leveraging my knowledge of the planning system to stand up to greedy developers
- Creating safer streets for people who walk and ride
- Expanding our green spaces
- Protecting community services and spaces
- A vote for me is a vote for our planet, community, and social justice.

Pauline Galvin
I’ve been active in Community Groups over many years and have learnt we need:
- to build on Moreland’s Climate Emergency response
- open and transparent governance
- better protection for our environment, urban habitat, noise, air quality and control of toxic industrial waste (often historic)
- safe streets and active transport
- to build resilient communities
With your support, I will be a responsive, active councillor who works hard for the best outcomes for residents, the local area, and environment.

When too many are confidential and the community is shut out, bad decisions get made and things get missed. Secrecy and the refusal to listen to the community resulted in us losing the Gandolfo Gardens trees and important heritage as well as not winning enough facilities for pedestrians and cyclists from the level crossing project. I supported the local residents from the beginning and helped build the campaign to save Gandolfo Gardens.
