It’s time someone stood up for our community.

Mornington deserves a fair go. A community where families can thrive, local businesses can succeed, and everyone has access to the services and opportunities they deserve.

We need proper investment, strong local services and an independent voice that puts our community first - not party politics.

As your Independent, Melissa will work for you - not a party room.

For too long, Mornington has been taken for granted as a safe seat and hasn’t received the investment needed to keep up with growth. Mornington has been held by the same party since its inception over 40 years ago - we can’t keep voting the same way and expecting a different outcome. 

Melissa will work to put Mornington back on the agenda, to represent the needs of this unique community, and be the strong voice this community deserves.

Let’s Make Mornington Matter. Here’s how she’ll do it. 

Our fair share

Mornington has been overlooked for too long. As a local business owner and community advocate, I know our community deserves its fair share of government investment.

End Government corruption

Our community deserves an honest, accountable government that works for the people it represents. I will stand up for greater transparency, challenge political self-interest and put the needs of Mornington residents ahead of party politics.

Cost of living

As a former teacher and local business owner, I understand the pressures facing local households. I'll fight for practical solutions that ease cost-of-living pressures and help families, workers and older residents get ahead.

Small business

I know what it takes to build a business and create local jobs. I’ll champion our small businesses, support local employment and help create a strong, resilient economy where our community can prosper.

Strong communities

I’ve spent years bringing people together and advocating for those who need support. I'll fight for stronger local services, safer neighbourhoods and a community where everyone can access the care and support they need, when they need it.

Better schools

With a decade of experience in public education, Melissa knows every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. She'll fight for better school facilities, stronger student support and the investment our local schools need to give every child the best possible start.
