ERIN KARSTEN

After the floods in 2022, I decided to join the Greens to be the change that I want to see! In running for council, I hope to leverage my 25 year professional and corporate career in sustainable building, design and construction to help Ballina plan for affordable and sustainable housing and infrastructure now and into the future.
I hope we can find ways to attract and retain small businesses to help our vibrant community flourish. I want to help support Ballina to ensure it is a safe, affordable, connected and walkable community. All the things that are core to the Greens principles and values which align with my own personal history, experience and set of values.
I'd be proud to represent the Greens on the Ballina Council and use my passion and experience to fearlessly represent our community. Last election, we were only a couple of hundred votes away from electing a Greens Councillor in Ward A. This is our best chance to pick up a seat on Council, and that means I can work alongside Kiri and Simon to make sure everyone in Ballina has a Greens Councillor.
The Greens have an incredible track record on the issues that matter - fighting for affordable housing, environmental sustainability and grassroots democracy. But we won’t get action on these issues if we don’t vote for it, and that’s why I’m running for Council.
