Legislative Assembly (Lower House)

Badgerys Creek candidate - Peter Cooper

Forty years ago, my wife and I bought a block of land and built a house in a brand new suburb called St Clair. It was a wonderful place to raise a family, and, as our family grew, we knocked our house down and built our dream home to accommodate them.

Along the way I gained a degree in computing and masters in accounting to support my career, which included senior IT leadership roles at Macquarie Bank, The Reserve Bank, Woolworths and the University of NSW. Now I run my own cyber risk consultancy. Unfortunately, St Clair is no longer the tranquil place we knew. We lived through the nightmare that was the Erskine Park Road “upgrade”, and now we have the benefit of constant truck noise. Mamre Road is now undergoing the same. I regularly drive through Orchard Hills and the construction mess where the new Metro is going.

These examples of the state’s desire for excessive growth have convinced me that the Sustainable Australia Party, with their platform of “Protect the Environment, Stop Corruption and Stop Overdevelopment”, are the group with the focus needed to leave our children a planet worth living on.
