He wants residents to not only be connected to one another but to the people who visit our community.
To do that involves focusing on ways to continue improving the local area, including at the Port of Echuca, which has continued to be a topic of fierce debate among ratepayers.
“What happens with that area has been frustrating for people in the past,” Mr Amos said.
“I want to be able to go in there and listen to the concerns of residents and business to do everything we can to make life easier for them.”
When Mr Amos nominated for council he said, “This valuable area needs objective, open leadership and strategies that balance historical integrity, tourism value and costs to ratepayers.”
The rapidly growing area of Echuca West is also of concern to Mr Amos, as he wants to ensure the demand in the region is met.
“I want to help do our part to make sure it is sustainable for a very long time,” he said.
“It is one of the fastest growing areas in the community and we want to make sure it stays connected to central Echuca.
“I have strong connectivity values and I don’t want to go away from those.”
Mr Amos said he would be patient and would not be storming in the door demanding changes were made to policies.
“We all have to respect the rules,” he said.
“The time will come when we can debate the policies but that will happen once we have gone through the induction progress.”
