Phillip has a track record of putting this communities needs first and is a fearless advocate. You can be sure that he will listen to your concerns and always seeking the balanced outcome.

Rates	Phillip has advocated loudly on Council to keep rates affordable. This has resulted in Boroondara rates being consistently below the metro average for the last four years. Phillip will use your rates wisely to ensure that community has the right mixes of services and facilities.
Planning	Phillip believes the planning scheme is not resident friendly and has devoted countless hours to various committees trying to get things changed from the inside. Phillip works with Boroondara residents to get residently friendly win - win outcomes.
Services	Council delivers more than 150 services to the community, covering all stages of life. Phillip will work towards a renaisance in seniors services over the coming 4 years, as well as the Arts, seeking to get a home for the Arts established at the Kew Court House.
Respite	Boroondara has one respite facility, and it is totally overwhelmed. Over the coming 4 years Phillip will pursue opportunities for partnership to increase the level of respite facilities in Boroondara
Environment, Sustainability & Climate Change	Phillip has supported every environmental initiative that has faced Boroondara Council.  As Mayor, Phillip lead the initiative to switch off tap water to our parks and gardens and put them on to recycled water.  It was also during Phillip's year as Mayor that agreement was achieved to promote the environment to a key direction as a guiding principle to all council decision making.
