Charlotte McCabe - Candidate for Ward 1 and Lord Mayor

It’s been such an honour to represent the residents of Ward 2 over this past term of council, and this time I’m seeking your support as both the Ward 1 and Lord Mayoral candidate for the Greens.

Cr John Mackenzie and I have worked hard at every opportunity for housing, active transport, good urban planning and good governance. I’m proud of what we’ve been able to achieve, but there’s so much more to be done.

Newcastle is at a crossroads. We face huge challenges, but they provide us with an incredible opportunity to provide affordable housing, reduce our emissions, establish new clean, green, peaceful jobs and divert landfill to the circular economy.

We need more Greens on the council to ensure residents are at the heart of decision-making to build trust in local democracy. We want to work with you and for you on the local issues that matter to you most.
