Councillor
About Rhonda
My vision for Cleeland Ward is to create a safe, vibrant, and inclusive community where residents have access to quality services, green spaces, and opportunities to connect. I am committed to securing improved council services that meet the diverse needs of our community and enhance our quality of life. Neighbourhood safety will be a priority, implementing active local safety networks, and improving street lighting.
A revitalised Dandenong Market is central to my vision—a thriving community hub that supports local businesses, reduces cost-of-living pressures, and fosters a sense of belonging. I am also committed to accelerating the development of the Dandenong Community Hub, providing access to quality childcare, learning opportunities, and a welcoming space for people to gather.
To improve the appearance and cleanliness of our neighbourhood, I will prioritize reducing dumped rubbish and beautifying our streets, creating an environment that reflects our community pride. Finally, I envision expanding and enhancing our parks to offer more green spaces and recreational facilities, such as half-court basketball areas and open spaces for local sports.
Together, with our shared ideas, we can build a safer, more liveable Cleeland Ward—a community we are proud to call home.
