Sue Baker
Pines Ward, Frankston City Council

Tell us about yourself!

A current Independent Councillor and long-term resident of Pines Ward, I am deeply invested in our community. I believe that collaboration, asking the right questions, and listening to all voices lead to better outcomes. Together, we’ve made progress, but there is still work to do. We now face a cost-of-living crisis and housing shortages. I bring experience in strategic planning and advocacy to address these issues. I secured funding for homelessness initiatives like the Winter Shelter project, supported mental health training for volunteers, initiated Chatty Cafés, supported the Women’s Spirit Project empowering women in our community, and worked on Council’s Affordable Housing Policy. Our sports pavilions have improved, the Healthy Futures Hub was launched, the Excelsior Drive shopping strip revitalised, and the Mahogany Avenue mural revived. I have championed diversity and inclusion across all Council programs and services. However, Monterey Park and Pines pool still need upgrades, and many families, retirees, and single-person households are struggling. We must continue working with all levels of government to secure funding and make decisions that benefit all residents and business owners. One minute of your time now to Vote 1 Sue Baker and I will commit the next four years to representing you.
