Creating a united Bradfield

We posted 15,000 flyers in letterboxes in the suburbs joining Bradfield with help from lots of people - Willoughby, North Willoughby, Chatswood, Middle Cove, Castlecrag, Artarmon, Northbridge, Naremburn and St Leonards.

This new flyer introduces Nicolette, invites people to this Sunday’s event in Willoughby Park and asks people to fill out our community survey - an important action so we learn the views of the community. The flyer is in three languages - English plus traditional and simplified Chinese - as is Nicolette's website.

Join the conversation!

Did you know that almost 60% of the electorate had already cast their ballot (by post or at pre-polling) by Election Day in 2022?

We're talking with people now so that they know about Nicolette's campaign and our team hear about local issues well in advance. We’ve knocked on 3,216 doors and spoken with 1,554 residents since the start of June.

• "Daycare is incredibly expensive"
• "Make housing more affordable - give it a go politicians!”
• "I'm concerned about global conflict”

We’re in the middle of a 12-week sprint. Will this be the weekend that you listen to a conversation in action and join our volunteer crew?

Note: The map shows where our teams have been; the darker the colour, the more conversations we've had.

The Garden Party last Sunday was another well enjoyed Spring celebration. It was also a focussed fundraising event to raise funds for merchandise, such as bandanas, caps, umbrellas and tote bags.

We aimed for $10,000 and raised $14,735 from our community and a matching $10,000 from one of our major donor families. That’s a total of $24,735! What a community in action we are! A big thank you to the 57 people who donated this month.

Here is one of the pull up banners we fundraised for last month.

Nicolette and her team met with Dr Alison Blazey and Dr Jill Gordon AM (a Bradfield constituent) of Doctors for the Environment NSW about their recent report: Fossil Fuels are a Health Hazard. The data and findings discussed provide an even stronger reason for our communities and nation to wean off fossil fuels, particularly the health benefits for children of switching from ‘natural gas’ cooking and heating, to electricity.

Here are some of the community events Nicolette has attended throughout Bradfield, as well as morning meet-ups with the public at local shops:

• Kuring-gai Council’s Sustainable Futures Day in Turramurra
• Willoughby Council’s Crows Nest Fest
• Better Business Partnerships launch party - 'Circular Food Pathways', Naremburn Learn more
• St Thomas’s Art and Craft Show, Willoughby
• Chatswood Chamber of Commerce coffee catch up
• The Hindu Council of Australia’s Deepavali 2024, Bradfield Park
