Rosemarie has lived in the north west of Sydney for 28 years and feels honoured to be serving her second consecutive term on Council. She believes The Hills is an exceptional part of the world that offers opportunities for different lifestyles with its traditional quarter acre blocks to its rural enterprises and everything in between.
Rosemarie believes that the family is the core of society and this drives her support for the needs of Hills families. She would like to see more activities for teenagers in our open spaces, community centres and libraries – especially during school holidays, affordable access for young, possibly isolated mothers to community venues where they can create new networks and friendships and enhance life skills.
Rosemarie wants to connect with more community groups during this term to see how she can assist in any way.
Rosemarie will work hard to protect our bushland and oppose the drive for overdevelopment. Where development needs to occur, she believes there should be strict design standards that ensure that buildings are functional as well as visually pleasing and will work for this purpose.
Rosemarie is a small business owner with her husband, a long-time volunteer in marriage and parent education, an SRE teacher, been involved in pastoral care and managed sports teams.
She is the mother of a large family, and feels her greatest achievements are having a happy marriage and being a mum and grandmother. In her spare time, Rosemarie enjoys discussing ideas about anything and everything, reading, gardening, making bread and spending time with family and friends.
She is looking forward to serving the Hills on Council and meeting with many members of the community throughout the new term.
