RealSurf’s Shari standing for Council
Posted by: Don on August 25th, 2008Yes folks, it’s true – our very own Shari Hooper is running for election to Warringah Council on September 13.
Shari is the We Love Warringah group’s A ward candidate and for a pure surf agenda, I reckon she can’t be beat!
Here’s the official press release from We Love Warringah:
It’s a big step for Shari who is normally a “behind the scenes” gal, but she believes it is crucial that the interests of surfers be represented in this election and on Warringah Council.
Shari wants a Council that is “positive, sustainable, responsive, constructive”.
“I think we have a real chance here to make this Council the ideal that others can look to. I’d like people to see there’s a way to go into the future with all the modern facilities without punishing the environment. Beauty, sustainability, vibrancy, functionality – they can surely go hand in hand.”
Shari wants to see sand nourishment of our most threatened beach at Collaroy- Narrabeen and is determined that a sea wall or rock dumping is not put back on the agenda; she wants limits on the unbridled expansion of private and commercial premises on our beaches; she wants continued access to waves for surfers and clean water.
She is a member of the Northern Beaches business women’s network www.inspiringwomen.org.au – ‘where vision meets success.’ And she’s also a long standing member of Surfrider Foundation.
This election will also be the first for a popularly elected Mayor. Shari urges all surfers to consider for Paul Jaffe from We Love Warringah for the job.
The We Love Warringah team is a true resident’s group – no former councillors, no members of political parties and no property developers.
