LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS CR. DAVID FÄRDIG ALTONE WARD

Dear Ratepayer, I will be calling to see as many residents as possible prior to the closure of postal voting on 21 October 2017. However, as residents are so busy with work and family responsibilities it not possible to meet a substantial number of Altone rate payers at home when residents are working full time. I am therefore writing this personal letter to seek your support in case I should miss you when door knocking. Altone residents continually stress the point that the City of Swan has a ward based system, and residents with the knowledge of the ward are better able to represent the Altone community needs. It is therefore crucial that an Altone resident living in the area be elected to council. Ask yourself this question; why would someone from another part of the district want to be elected in the Altone Ward and what is their agenda? How would single issue individuals from other parts of the district support the Altone residents? I have proudly lived in the Altone Ward for 43 Years with my family and represented the Altone ward on council. As one of the current Altone Ward councillor I have extensive knowledge of the ward along with past, present, and future council planning issues.

Having worked as a Foreman and Project Manager with government has given me the opportunity to liaise with various departments to advocate for community groups on a wide range of local issues. I will continue to listen, be attentive to all your concerns and have a proven track record of making it happen in Altone.

Community initiatives implemented during my term on council include libraries, Swimming Pools, Community Centres, completion of the new Midland Hospital and the establishment of our regional waste recycling facility. My future vision for Altone includes a $200 million regional open space facility at Whiteman Park, with facilities for our youth and seniors. I offer experienced representation, and seek your support for a further term, as an independent voice that offers balanced impartial decision making that reflects the whole community. Allow me to continue to serve you in the future by giving me your vote. If you wish to support me please tick the box marked David Färdig. As there are two positions please give the second tick to MicWainwright. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and l look forward to seeing you when I door knock your area. Should you require any information or a personal meeting, please telephone 0408 882 308 or email dr.pnfardig@bigpond.com and I will respond to your concerns. Yours sincerely, David Färdig Authorised and Printed by D.R. Färdig 20 Penlea Glades Kiara.
