Kylie grew up in the Pilbara Region of WA, moved to the Perth Hills for about 10 years before settling in Chittering 20 years ago. She is married with two daughters and has lived in Muchea since 2004.

Kylie has a strong understanding about the Chittering community and in particular the diversity of the four localities within the Shire through actively engaging in the development and community consultation for the Shire’s SCP for the past 15 years. Kylie has been actively involved in many community, environmental and sporting groups and has organised many successful community events.

Kylie is passionate about community and ensuring the Shire continues to be a great place to live and work. She sees sustainable planning decisions and careful management of the Shire’s growth, including provision of local employment and the successful establishment of the MIP, as key to achieving this. This must be done with a cautionary approach to ensure all environmental impacts are mitigated to safeguard our countryside for future generations to enjoy.

Kylie is committed to helping the Shire become more efficient in its operations without compromising the availability and quality of services for residents. She is particularly interested in ensuring support services for low-income families and creative activities for young people remain a priority for the Shire.

Kylie is a Life Member of the Muchea Netball Club, the long-term Club Secretary and Umpire Development Officer, and previously has served two years as the President of the South Midlands Netball Association. She is also a member of the Bindoon Belles CWA Branch and Chittering Landcare Group.

Her work background is in procurement, business and facilities management, quality assurance and customer service. She has the necessary business acumen and an excellent understanding of good governance, and customer service in these areas. She is also a professional Photographer and a WorkSafe accredited HSR and Safety Supervisor.

In her free time, Kylie enjoys volunteering with local community groups, helping with community events and attending community sports. She is semi-retired so has set aside most of her time towards her Council and community group activities. On weekends she is a keen photographer and likes to photograph and explore this great State we live in and catch up with her adult children and their families.
