I have lived in West Swan with my wife and two children since 1991 and prior to that in Beechboro. In 1995 I stood for the Swan Council elections and was elected to the Swan Valley Ward. This gave me an opportunity to work for the community, to understand and work with bureaucracy but most importantly to get things done. In 2008 I stood for election to the State government for the Liberal Party in the new seat of West Swan with significant inroads made into Labor’s once safe seat. I continue to be an active member of the community working hard to ensure that community concerns are heard. In Malaga I have actively promoted business development in the region and worked with the Ballajura Community College to assist with Vocational Education Training (VET) for school leavers. As president of the Malaga and Districts Business Association I have been very vocal about the need for government to build an overpass bridge on Reid Highway and Alexander Road. Also the MDBA has donated proceeds from its annual function towards supporting the Ballajura Youth Dungeon. Before the Labor government disbanded it, I also worked on the Ballajura Safer WA local policing committee. Three years ago I worked with a number of key community members to form the Swan Valley Progress Association and have actively promoted our local issues. Below are some of the issues I have worked on during my time as Chairman of the SVPA and also as president of the Malaga and Districts Business Ass. Both are apolitical organisations. In addition to my community work I am an active member of the Liberal Party of Australia. If you are considering joining the party I’ll be pleased to hear from you. Should there be any issues that you feel needs attention please send me an email to rod@rodhenderson.com.au |
