Knowing Joel on a professional and a personal level it's easy to see he is one of the few public servants that genuinely serves and cares for the community. I think he'll make a great councillor as he stands by his word and is trustworthy, maybe he can help bring some transparency into the council.
Thanks for putting your hand up for local government Joel. We need passionate, well-informed and progressive minds creating a vision for our future. Look forward to seeing what you can offer to the mix.
I have worked with Joel, several years ago and found Joel to be a man of his word, and passionate with what he put his heart and mind too. Our conversation was always about how to do better not only in ourselves but for others, I feel voting for Joel, is a vote for change and improvement. Vote 1 for Joel.
As a former Member of State Parliament I am well aware of Joel’s excellent advocacy for the Southern Downs over many years for a wide range of issues. Joel is an active, experienced and involved member of his community. I am sure he would make an excellent Councillor for Southern Downs.
Over the last few years Joel has consistently challenged the council and the state government on issues that effect all of us on the Southern downs. From Water, Fuel pricing and housing to name a few. He is a strong advocate on protecting our local environment through sustainable development that contributes to and enhances all our community. He will bring fresh eyes, energy, integrity and a cooperative can-achieve attitude to our council.
It has become increasingly evident to me that Joel possesses a genuine passion for serving our community. Joel consistently demonstrates integrity in his actions, and his steadfast dedication to accomplishing tasks is truly commendable. His extensive knowledge and skill set undoubtedly positions him as a valuable asset to our community.
Joel is very active in the community and is supportive of the empowerment of indigenous rights. In 2022-23 he supported a local group’s ultimately successful plan to sponsor a refugee family in Warwick. He is an open and approachable person who has a vision for what residents want from their regional council.
Joel is a committed, effective and passionate advocate for the Southern Downs. He is aware of the issues that matter to us locals and will be a Councillor that will be able to hit the ground running from day one.
I’ve known Joel for 6 years and in this time he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our community. From the business and agricultural community through to the homeless and social welfare groups, he is a patient and level headed person; empathetic and compassionate. He is focussed and committed to a fair and just community.
I have known Joel for several years. I know him as a man of integrity, unafraid to have conversations around bettering governance, making fair judgements and being inclusive. Joel has experience in Defence, Queenland Health, and state government that makes him an educated choice for councillor within Southern Downs Region.
Joel is dedicated to the region and is energetic about his contribution. This has been displayed for many years in many areas of community life. The SDRC would be enhanced enormously with Joel’s compassion and gentlemanly, considered approach.
I believe Joel will make a great councillor as I trust him and he is true to his word.
Joel has shown his commitment to the Southern Downs over many years. He will make an excellent Councillor with his strong community values, extensive knowledge of the region and great work ethic.
