INTRODUCING
Jody Williams
"The Northern Beaches have been proudly independent since 9 September 2017.
And it is my intention it will stay that way!"
– Jody Williams
Best community bus stop on the beaches.
Immediate areas of focus:
​
-
Finding programs to help our "tradie" community as we do small business.
-
Supporting the emergency services.
-
Giving ordinary members of the community a true voice in council.
Jody Williams has been involved in the community since he first returned to the area in 2009.
He has been a member of the P&C’s of both Forestville public and Killarney Heights High School, the Cub Scout leader at 1st Forestville Scouts and held various positions during his son’s time at Forest Junior Rugby.
He's been a member of the Warringah-Pittwater SES for the last 4 ½ years and has achieved the qualifications of Team Leader and Level One Incident Controller.
Jody has worked in film, theatre, television, exhibitions and displays as a set builder and prop maker, and also worked as a carpenter on building sites around Sydney.
Jody understands the life of a “Tradie” and feels more needs to be done to support those who are the backbone of our society. He's currently a Kitchen designer for Belrose Bunnings.
​In 2017, Jody became involved in YNBIT, and then with the Zali Steggall campaign, handing out pamphlets at Forestville shops. From such mild beginnings he ended up as a Booth Captain, Zali’s Forest Hub Leader, Michael Reagan's Volunteer Coordinator and now your #2 candidate for the Frenchs Forest Ward, supporting Sue Heins.
​​
​Jody is 21 years sober and has extensive experience helping others to achieve sobriety. He understands in a deeply personal way how the disease of addiction manifests in our community. As a Councillor he wants to be part of finding more solutions and support for people with addictions.
​​
Jody is the Great great grandson of Frederick Passau the Mayor of Manly from 1897-99. In running for council, he is continuing his family tradition of service to the people of the Northern Beaches.
