Hi i'm Kiri...

I'm one of your Greens representatives on Ballina Shire Council and a second-generation Lennox Head local. I feel incredibly lucky to live and raise my daughter on beautiful Bundjalung Country.

I’ve spent my life and career supporting community. I started my career as a youth worker in Ballina and after several years working in frontline roles, I spent over a decade working in international aid, advising governments and the UN on gender equality. My journey has taken me around the world and back again, always driven by a passion for justice and lasting change.

During this time i've seen Lennox grow from a sleepy seaside village into a bustling town. While there’s much to celebrate, our rapid growth has brought serious challenges: unaffordable housing, stressed ecosystems, and deepening wealth inequality.

As a mum, I am increasingly concerned about the kind of world we are leaving behind for our children. I ran for Council because I wanted to take urgent, ambitious actions to stem biodiversity loss, reverse climate change and build community resilience. I also want Council to take a strong position against development on areas that are flood prone, have significant biodiversity of flora and fauna, or that would have a detrimental impact on habitat for local wildlife.

As a Greens Councillor, I’m guided by principles of sustainability, equity, and grassroots democracy. I’m here to listen, advocate, and work with you to shape a better future for our community.
