Bill Waterston is seeking another term at this year’s council election.
Here’s his pitch.
Bill Waterston is a well known Ararat identity passionate about sport and the local community.
I have been married to Rhonda for 43 years with two children Tahnee and Jayden and two amazing grandchildren Bill and Indra.
Having been an Ararat resident for 68 years, I have nominated again having enjoyed and learnt so much from my previous four years on council.
Buy the The Ararat Advocate print edition, which has full coverage of all the region’s news and sport.
I feel that there is so much unfinished business to be done.
Our previous council being so proactive and forward thinking in my opinion has left Ararat Rural City in a tremendous position to move forward.
Our city is certainly heading in the right direction.
No rate rises in seven years.
We have developers wanting to invest in our city which means growth.
Our roads are good but could be better which means there is still work to do in that area.
More weekend trains coming to get people to and from our city to Melbourne at reasonable times.
Our council and city is financially viable through excellent governance which I can say in all truthfulness not many councils can say that.
People who know me know that I am very approachable, extremely community minded, a very good listener and give or get the answers when asked.
There are exciting times ahead for our city moving forward and I cannot wait to be a part of it.
All I need now is for people to vote 1 Bill Waterston.
