Cr Jackie Fristacky
Cr Fristacky has represented the City of Yarra over three terms since 2002, including serving as Mayor in 2005-06.
Representing Nicholls Ward (North Carlton, North Fitzroy, Princes Hill, and parts of Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Collingwood), Cr Fristacky’s priorities include: establishment of an indoor sports complex for Yarra, building a permanent home for the North Fitzroy Library, and more trees and landscaping for Yarra’s streets and shopping precincts.
Improving and maintaining the open space of Curtain Square, Edinburgh Gardens, Linear Park and the Hardy Gallagher Reserve are also high priorities.
“Council’s role is to support and enhance the community – whether through safe streets, library services, childcare, open space and sporting facilities, or through encouraging healthy physical activity, neighbourliness and community building programs,” she said.
“Council can nurture community building in so many ways.”
Cr Fristacky is passionate about government and industry efforts to achieve long-term solutions to traffic congestion and road safety.
“Improving the passenger transport system so that it is well-connected, accessible and reliable, is the most effective means of dealing with congestion in cities,” Cr Fristacky said.
“This also supports social equity, better land use and the environment,” she said.
