RON MILDREN

for Wodonga Council

You deserve a councillor who stands up when it counts, with the skills, common sense, and guts to get results even against the odds.

That’s what I’m hearing from our community and that’s why I’m running for Council.

My achievements in 2 years as Wodonga’s Mayor:

Reduced Wodonga Council debt to its lowest level in over 10 years & have got the budget back on track.

Attracted new national & international businesses to Wodonga, creating nearly 400 jobs & over $23 million in land sales at Wodonga’s LOGIC. Funds that can be re-invested into our community.

Brought together the support of all Councils & communities across the North East behind a new, single-site hospital.

Now we need to work with the Federal Government to invest in a Defence & University medical school on the Border, to get us the Federal funding we need to build a new hospital, because I’m focused on solutions.
