Rosemarie de Vries (Independent)

Rosemarie was born in Subiaco and grew up in rural WA before moving back to Perth for studies. She completed a degree in Asian Studies in 1992 and later an Honours Degree in Social Sciences.  She extensively studied China’s environmental issues and policies as part of her work on a doctorate.  Rosemarie  has been a university lecturer, taught English and Mandarin in local and international high schools, and lived and worked in South East Asia for over 15 years. Rosemarie has an outstanding environmental track record on Subiaco Council and has supported initiatives taken by the City that aims to reduce greenhouse emissions by 45% by 2030. 

As a Community Independent, Rosemarie’s advocacy for the environment and her policies reflect the community’s growing concern about the impact of the diminishing tree canopy- the lowest of all capital cities in Australia. She is a strong advocate for representing her community on the issues that matter.  The community are concerned about the environment and want action on protecting existing tree canopy cover, sustainable development that ensures that the amenity is not eroded by poor development decisions. 

She is passionate about doing politics differently and hopes that she will inspire a sense of optimism in people who increasingly feel disillusioned by the two party system and feel anxious about the lack of serious action on climate change.

Cilla de Lacy (Independent)

I wasn’t lucky enough to grow up in Nedlands. So, to have lived here since 2007 is testament to my hard work and determination to make a better life for myself. I had humble beginnings in Spearwood where my Dad drove buses and Mum stayed at home.  There was always a radio on in our home, and if Dad didn’t get the newspaper off the lawn first thing, something was wrong. I grew up in a family obsessed with the news and politics. When I left home my parents said “Make sure you get The West home delivered Cilla, you must know what’s going on in the world.”

I knew from a young age that I loved learning and nature, choosing to pursue a degree in Natural Resource Management at UWA. I went on with this degree (and a Masters in Environmental Law and Graduate Certificate in Social Impact) to build a successful 30 year career that has taken me all over Australia driving policy change to solve massive problems like:

  • the urban water crisis during the Millennium drought
  • protecting biodiversity as our cities sprawl
  • gridlock on our city roads
  • densifying our inner urban areas
  • getting women’s reproductive health on the national agenda; and
  • tackling our energy crisis in the face of climate change.

My husband and I have raised our family in Nedlands since 2007. We’ve been active in the community through junior sport, school community participation, environmental conservation and leading an underground power campaign.  The latter contributing to my election to Nedlands Council in 2017.  In 2019 I was elected Mayor seeking to steer the community through the ‘density’ crisis, and the unforeseen COVID19 pandemic.  It became clear that our problems were founded on being a policy taker and not a policy maker.  It’s why I am now standing for State Parliament, where I can more effectively help Nedlands thrive.

Viv Glance (Greens)

I’m proud to be your Greens candidate for Nedlands in the upcoming state election.

Growing up in public housing, I learned the value of community, collaboration, and a strong welfare system. Studying botany at university deepened my love for ecology, but my real-world education came from standing up for workers’ rights in Thatcher’s Britain, and refusing to take a job away from workers on strike.

My career has been as varied as my passions, from computer programming and community organising to producing and performing in theatre around the world. I’ve sat on boards and management committees for creative industry groups and volunteered for not-for-profit organisations seeking to create a better future. Along the way, I’ve seen how deeply political decisions shape people’s lives, especially after moving to Australia with my family.

Since joining the Greens in 2014, I’ve served on National Council and as International Secretary, working to create a system that prioritises people and the planet.

Here in Nedlands, we face real challenges: rental stress, lack of community consultation on property developments, and the urgent need for climate resilience.

We’re stuck in a political system that refuses to act. The Greens are powered by people, not corporations, and we’re here to lead the change our community needs. 

Together, we can tackle the climate crisis, make housing affordable, and create a future that works for all of us. Join me in creating this change for Nedlands.

See you out there!
