HARRIS, Robyn

I am passionate about ensuring we continue to have a vibrant, progressive and well serviced local community into the future. With a background in nursing, small business and community services, I bring practical knowledge, financial management skills, new ideas and enthusiasm to the table. I am currently involved locally as a SA Ambulance Service volunteer and Eyre Hub board member. For our community to thrive, we need access to childcare to give individuals an opportunity to return to their chosen profession, which, in turn, unlocks skill shortages. We need access to housing to enable business to employ staff, which helps grow our population. I recognise we face the ongoing challenge of securing a doctor and acknowledge just how important continuity of health care is. Together, we can shape the future of the community. I invite you to share your ideas, raise your concerns and join me in progressing the great work that has been done by people before me.

SCOTT, Toni Ann

25 years ago I moved to Kimba a young girl starting work life with my first of many local employers. I married a local farmer and have proudly called Kimba my home ever since. I immediately started my volunteering journey with the Youth Advisory Committee, an initiative of Local Council. I became an active member of the Netball and Basketball Clubs and have volunteered in coaching and committee roles the entire time I have lived here. Over the past 15 years I have dedicated my time to raising our 3 children, helping manage the family farm whilst always remaining employed part time with local business'. I have continued to serve as a volunteer with interest in a diverse range of local groups including the Kimba Christmas Tree Committee and the Kimba Hospital Auxiliary. As a mum of teenage kids I believe I could fill a role on council that isn't currently represented. I have always said Kimba is the best place in the world to raise a family and I'm passionate about keeping it that way.

BALDOCK, Jeff

I am a 68 year old, semi-retired farmer. Having lived in the Kimba District all my life I am passionate about making sure Kimba not only survives by thrives into the future. Our family have been proud members of this community for generations and now with our 2 sons and daughter and their families all living here I am very focused on making Kimba the best place it can be. I have enjoyed all of the advantages of being a member of this community, playing, coaching, umpiring in sporting clubs as well as being on various committees and volunteering in various groups. Kimba is a great place to live, but I believer we need to find a way to attract new industries to strengthen our community. After being involved in farming all my life my wife and I have handed over the running of the family farm to the next generations meaning I will have more time to give back to the community so I am asking you to consider me as a candidate for the upcoming supplementary Council election.

SOLLY, Joshua

After relocating from Adelaide, I’ve been proud to call Kimba home for just shy of eight years now. In that time, I’ve built strong connections through my involvement on a number of local committees, sporting clubs, and community initiatives. You might have seen me on the football oval or the cricket pitch, but I’ve been just as active behind the scenes - contributing ideas, energy, and time. As a Store Manager and Stock Agent in my professional life, I bring leadership, problem-solving, and a strong ability to listen, collaborate and plan. At home, I’m a husband to Esther, our local Kindy Director, and a soon-to-be father, which supports my interest in wanting to help shape our community for the benefit of future generations. I am standing for election because I believe our district can continue to grow and thrive - where local voices are valued and services are strengthened. I will bring energy, experience, and a fresh perspective to the role.

Supporting all demographics within our community is important to me. If elected, I will strive to ensure Council makes sound decisions that benefit our community and make Kimba an even better place to call home.
