​ROSS WILLIAMS STAND OUT CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF HUNTERS HILL 

Phil Jenkyn OAM on Ross Williams for Mayor “Ross Williams in my view is the stand out candidate for Mayor of Hunters Hill. He is highly qualified in the environment field, governance and administration, and experienced in local government having been Mayor 1989-93. He is a person of the highest integrity and passionate about Hunters Hill and its special character. Ross over many years has worked tirelessly for the community. He was pivotal in the recent battle to keep our independence. Our battle is not over yet, the Liberal Government’s policy of forced council amalgamations remains. No other candidate can bring to the table such depth and breadth of experience and leadership. This is the very time that this community needs Ross for Mayor.” Phil Jenkyn OAM Co-convenor ‘Save Hunters Hill Municipality Coalition’ claims “the best qualified person and the person we absolutely need for this community is Ross Williams.” “The person with the greatest track record is Ross.” “He and his Team for North Ward are all true independents.”

Ross Williams Candidate for Mayor Ross is a passionate Hunters Hill local who continues to fight for our independence and the right to local democracy and good governance. Councils play a fundamental role within the local community. Amalgamation of local councils means loss of local identity and local decision making. It is important that we keep the ‘local’ in local government to ensure it remains true to the people it serves. Ross has lived in Hunters Hill for 34 years and is married with two children. He served as Hunters Hill Mayor from 1989–93 and was on council for 12 years until 1999. Ross has had a distinguished professional career including extensive senior level experience in State Government agencies and the private sector. He is proudly not beholden to any political party and is able to fearlessly represent the needs of our local community and businesses. Ross is the founder and currently Chair of the community not-for-profit organisation ‘Discover Hunters Hill’ and established the ‘Save Hunters Hill Municipality Coalition’ with Phil Jenkyn back in 2003 in the successful battle to stop the takeover of Hunters Hill by City of Ryde Council. The group was reactivated in 2012 with Ross as Co-convenor and has been leading the community battle to prevent the NSW Government’s attempt now to forcibly amalgamate Hunters Hill with City of Ryde and Lane Cove councils.
