ABOUT JOHN KAVANAGH
* Only Independent Mayor in Moreland’s history.
* 50 years old.
* Married with four adult children and an animal lover.
* Primary school teacher for the last 30 years and currently teaching in North Fawkner.
* Strong family history of community involvement over many generations.
* A hard working, community focused, honest representative who values integrity.
* Investigated, with resultant action, over 1,000 issues on behalf of Moreland residents.
* Returned Moreland to grassroots issues rather than matters outside our control.
* Many instances when I have been the only voice speaking on behalf of the ratepayer e.g. wasteful ‘sister city' relationships.
* A strong advocate for increasing community input into planning matters.
* Every decision is made solely on what I believe to be in the best interests of the resident and/or ratepayer.
* Although I have been the only Independent Councillor, I have worked co-operatively with all my fellow Councillors e.g. 8 ALP and 2 Greens.
