ALISON CHAMPION

Creating Sustainable Communities for Residents and Businesses within Banyule

Alison is committed to the ideal that every person’s potential is achievable. Her intention is to be a positive role model and change-maker who empowers others to be the same.

Mission and Ethos

Working For Sustainable Community Development

I have lived in Banyule for 2 decades and believe it’s the best council in Melbourne. It has some of the lowest rates in the city, beautiful green open spaces, some of the most successful sports and business people, as well as many happy interactive residents.

Why would you live anywhere else?
