Carnegie Pool - securing the pool's future
One of the issues that was highlighted amongst many candidates including myself during the recent Council elections was the urgent need to upgrade the aging Carnegie pool.
In 2010 I initiated a motion in the chamber to address this. The amended motion passed at that time noted the significance of this issue but adopted a wait and see approach till after GESAC had opened and attendance figures could be viewed.
The attendance figures at Carnegie so far this summer have been quite high showing no decrease even though GESAC has been open for almost one year.
There have been some intial discussions on this issue; it has been very encouraging that overwhelmingly this new Councillor group is keen to upgrade and improve this important community facility,with timing and funding yet to be determined>.

- Hello thanks for taking the time to check out my site. a bit about myself and experiences had- Ive been a councillor at Glen Eira for over four years now and have enjoyed the challenges council life presents. As well I work p/time for a local sports and physio wholesaler doing everything and anything from despatch to purchasing. Probably the most physical and exotic work was as a trekking guide in Nepal - amazing times! Spending a fair amt of time in the third world has I think shaped how i view all worlds - Doing some almost exploratory solo trips into the remote traditional regions of Borneo during the nineties was a real privelage. This was at a time before these regions had been cleared or logged-true 'adat' lifestyle. Blowpipes, wild boar and debates with missionaries! Other adventures include being involved in the Franklin River blockade in Tasmania- scouting upriver before the first protests and almost being bitten by a startled copperhead in the middle of nowhere.
