Julia Ham will stand up for Wagga Wagga
Local teacher, small businesswoman and councillor, Julia Ham, will stand up for the needs of her community as the endorsed Liberal candidate for Wagga Wagga.
Julia Ham lives with her family on a merino sheep property in Oberne Creek at Tarcutta. For the last 15 years she has been running a successful consultancy business providing start-up project management, advice and training for early educational services.
Julia is a second term Councillor on the Snowy Valleys Council, where she has been a strong advocate for a number of important local issues, such as the council remaining within the Destination Riverina rather than moving to Destination Southern NSW.
“I am proud of the work that we do on behalf of the local community as a councillor, and I want to take the opportunity to give this region an effective advocate who can stand up and deliver for the community,” Ms Ham said.
As the Chairperson of the Tarcutta Valley Landcare group, Julia has worked incredibly hard to help protect the local environment and encourage sustainable agricultural practices. She is also a member of the Murray Darling Association, giving her a strong understanding of the impacts of Murrumbidgee water flows on farmers.
Julia has been a vocal advocate for the local tourism industry, and has fought hard for essential road upgrades, rail and cycle trails, including the Tumbarumba to Rosewood rail trail pilot.
“The Wagga Wagga electorate is filled with great potential, and I want to help unlock the opportunities that would come with more investment in local infrastructure.
“If elected, I will fight to progress the duplication of the Gobbagombalin bridge, to ensure that a key piece of infrastructure that connects the north and south of the city meets the needs of our community.
“The Perrottet Government has the leadership and expertise to ensure that our community is moving forward,” Ms Ham said. “This is one of the most amazing parts of Australia, both our natural surroundings and the wonderful people who call this place home.”
“I am proud to be running as part of the Perrottet Liberal Team that has delivered support for the local community, from easing the pressure on family budgets with cost-of-living support to delivering stronger frontline services with more doctors, nurses and teachers.
“The Perrottet Government’s strong economic management and long-term plan means that we will be able to invest in important local future needs like more teachers and early childhood educators.
“This plan will ensure that our community has the support, services and infrastructure we need and provides certainty for local families and businesses to plan for the future.”
