I am blessed and privileged to represent the residents of the Northern suburbs of Melbourne as their representative in the State Parliament of Victoria.

I was born, raised and married in the Northern suburbs. I live there, I shop there, I play sport there, I go to church there and I raise my family in Melbourne’s wonderful North.

From the Industrial areas of Campbellfield and Broadmeadows, to the Christmas lights of the Ivanhoe Boulevard, to the serenity of the Diamond and Plenty Valleys – it is a fantastic place to live, work, play and do business.

The new growth areas such as Doreen, Laurimar, South Morang, Mernda. Epping North combined with the historical beauty of suburbs like Carlton, Alphington, Fitzroy and Northcote makes the beauty of our Northern suburbs worth celebrating.

I encourage all Victorians to come and spend time in Melbourne’s delightful North.
