AFTER observing local politics for many years, Warwick born project manager Peter Kemp has decided to take the next step.
“I have observed local politics for many years and have decided to run for this election as I feel the skills I have can be very useful to contribute to the future direction of our council,” he said.
“Debt has been discussed since I can remember.
“This issue needs to be addressed and effectively managed. The SDRC has found itself over extended financially.
“This debt needs to be rationalized and SDRC will have to formulate a debt reduction plan.
“The issue of efficiency of the council operations needs to be analysed to eliminate poor work practices and methods.
“The council will have to become more efficient and user friendly for the residents of Southern Downs.”
Mr Kemp said he and his family has long links to the area.
“I was born in Warwick and educated at Warwick West and Warwick High, having left school for building and infrastructure construction.
“I obtained tertiary qualifications in project management at QUT,” he said.
“Our family have been in the Warwick area for over 130 with the arrival of my great grandfather James Kemp.”
