Jess Marsh Community Independent

What Jess is fighting for

For too long, our community has been taken for granted as a safe seat rather than a priority. We have carried more than our fair share of pollution, poor planning and broken promises, while missing out on the investment that other electorates have received.

As your community independent, I will answer only to the people of Footscray.

These are the issues I will fight for every day.

Our vision

A Future We Can Be Proud Of

Our children deserve a healthier, fairer, more sustainable and more hopeful Footscray than the one we inherited.

We have a proud industrial past. The West built this city.

Now we need a long-term vision for the future of the Inner West, beyond electoral cycles.

I will fight for:

• ▸Cleaner air and neighbourhoods.
• ▸Cleaning up legacy industrial pollution.
• ▸Climate action that delivers local benefits.
• ▸Coherent and long-term policy and planning that reflects community needs and protects what makes Footscray special.
• ▸Better community support and health outcomes.
• ▸Stronger local businesses, and a thriving, accessible and safe CBD.
• ▸Protection and expansion of green spaces.
• ▸Flood resilience and healthy waterways.
• ▸Expanded and improved public education options.
• ▸Strengthened government integrity and oversight.
• ▸Protection of our inclusive and diverse community, rejecting the politics of division.

My commitment

I will always listen first.

I will make decisions based on evidence and consultation.

I will work constructively with whoever forms government.

And I will always put the people of Footscray ahead of political convenience and vested interests.
