  At the last Unley Council election in 2018, mayor candidates Michael Hewitson and Dario Centrella swapped preferences and ran a 1 & 2 campaign. Michael won due to preferences from Dario. Take the time to read the latest leaflets by Hewitson and Centrella and wonder if this is the direction Unley should pursue.

I believe it is due to Unley Council focusing on trees and canopy and ignoring the basics like maintaining our footpaths. When I discovered the serious trip hazard, I imagined Mayor Michael Hewitson sitting in his parlour sipping his almond milk decaf latte coffee while he counted trees and the cost of $100,000s to fly aerial surveys to estimate the big tree canopies across Unley … all in pursuit of a dream to hike extra taxes (rates) for residents who do not have enough tree canopy on their pro...
