00:00My name's Peter Hewlin. I'm running in the Patobe Ward. I've been a councillor previously

00:06on three occasions for three terms, nearly 12 years. I have lived in Patobe Ward for

00:1425 odd years in three different locations. I think really it is the jewel in the crown

00:21of our city. I think it has tremendous potential, especially as cities today are going more

00:27lifestyle and I think the Patobe Ward really has all those attributes. I think one of the

00:37issues that I do have a problem with is the cost to the community for rates. Our rates

00:42continually are going up and the pressures on families, especially on young families,

00:47is just ridiculous. And I believe that there are enormous amount of savings that we could

00:54make in our council to take the financial burden off the rate payers. The things that

01:01I'd like to see down in Patobe, I think the connections into Warrnambool itself, into

01:06the city, I think are lacking no matter which end of Patobe you're really looking at. So

01:13I think that's one of the things I'd like to achieve. Of course the promenade is an

01:18issue. The surf life-saving club is at the end of its life, that has to be done. The

01:25wolves with the soccer, there needs to be areas there for women. Just simple things

01:32I think that I can bring to the table and a lot, a lot of experience.
