What is Kate’s approach to development?
Answer
Kate believes we can grow without losing what we love. Gilmore’s natural beauty—our beaches, forests, farmland and waterways—is part of who we are. So is the character of our towns, shaped by history, culture, and community.
She supports thoughtful, sustainable development that:
- Listens to locals and respects Aboriginal heritage and Country
- Prioritises medium-density housing in well-serviced areas like Nowra, Ulladulla and Batemans Bay
- Protects green space, native habitats, and our shared story—including historic buildings and village character
- Keeps pace with infrastructure, so growth doesn’t come at the expense of livability
Kate believes we can grow in a way that reflects who we are—and pass it on with pride to future generations.
