Councillor Stephanie Proud JP
Declaration: I am not, nor have I ever been a member of a registered political party.
Stephanie has owned and operated a small business since 1989 and has enjoyed a diverse administrative career path in small, medium and corporate business enterprises as well as the local government sector.

She has a strong interest in the preservation of public open space and the protection of the natural environment, increasing tree-canopy coverage, sustainable and moderate residential development in accordance with Residential Guidelines and responsible financial management.
