HI, I'm Pallavi Sinha. I live locally with my husband, and run a small business providing legal & education services.
As a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow, Former People of Australia Ambassador & Former Lifeline Counsellor, I want to extend my community service to serving as a Councillor. I’m actively involved with local precincts and community groups. The recurring feedback is that we need better representation on Council and new ideas.

If elected, I will carry on the good work of the longest serving female Councillor & former Mayor Jilly Gibson such as developing open spaces & community villages and upgrading local parks, and I WILL
- Open the North Sydney Olympic pool & ensure that upcoming projects like the bike ramp are delivered on time and within budget
- Speed up the review of development applications
- Help with cost of living pressures by reducing unnecessary waste of ratepayers money (e.g. on legal expenses)
- Support small business, residents (both owners & renters) & communities via regular consultation & ensure the sustainability of local villages
- Ensure pedestrian safety & traffic calming
- Preserve green & open spaces & improve playground and sporting facilities
- Take action to reduce the high rate of DV
- Work with all levels of government to prioritise the interest of residents, especially in relation to the upcoming sale of Luna Park, and I would oppose the introduction of 2 way tolls to the harbour bridge tolls
I want to ensure that there’s accountability, and that Council spends monies from ratepayers wisely and for the best interest of the local government area.
