Tristan Peach for Hamilton
Tristan
has lived in north Brisbane all of his life. He has a bachelor and
masters degree in town planning and has worked, taught and received
awards in this field.
For the past seven years he has worked in the community with the Nundah Positive Housing Project, Samford Transport Group, Cedar Creek Bushcare Group and Community Action for Sustainable Transport.
Results include the provision of a new bus service between Ferny Grove and Samford, and the revegetation of a large area of weed infested creek bank in Ferny Grove.
His town planning experience and community service make him well qualified to be a Councillor, and his long-term goal is to be Council’s transport chairperson.
In the Hamilton Ward his priority is listening to people and involving them directly in decisions.
He is keen to help local businesses grow, protect parkland and get more people involved in local activities.
Tristan would ensure new development follows strict standards and benefits the community.
He will be promoting light rail along Lutwyche Road, improvements to AirTrain and better cross-city bus services as an alternative to the destructive Airport Link and the Northern Busway.
