Alan has been a Hills Shire resident for more than three decades, living in West Pennant Hills with his wife Valerie, where they raised their two children.
Alan has previously served two terms on Council from 2012 to 2021. He was most proud of Council’s reform of tree modification regulations, striking the right balance between conserving tree canopy and protecting the property rights of residents. He also pushed for increased oversight of Council’s tendering process to ensure better value for ratepayers.
Alan is a non-executive director of a company in the fluid power industry and sits on the board of the National Space Society of Australia. He also enjoys doing volunteer work, teaching ethics to students at a local primary school. Prior to Council, he spent 16 years as the Managing Director of Asia-Pacific for an American multinational company.
Alan is keen to explore new and innovative ways to tackle the growing waste problem while pushing for sensible development that will help accommodate Sydney’s booming population and maintain all that we love about The Hills Shire.
Alan has a Bachelor of Engineering, a Masters of Business Administration and is a diploma graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
