Catching up with Tennyson Ward Councillor Nicole Johnston Thanks for your time Nicole. Please share with us a little about your career history. Well let me just start off by saying it’s been a wonderful ten year journey as Tennyson Ward Councillor. I have now been elected three times and it’s fantastic to represent the local community. After I finished my law degree, I went to work for the Attorney General of Queensland and did
two and a half years working as an Advisor in State Government. Then in my late twenties I went down to Canberra and worked as a Media Advisor for the Minister for Justice and Customs. Therefore, I think one of the great things I can draw on as the local Councillor is that I understand how all levels of Government work and I work pretty closely with State and Federal Members to try and get the best outcomes for our community.
What is it that you love about Corinda and the nearby area? I’m a local resident and I believe we live in the best district in Brisbane. We have wonderful parks, brilliant schools, and great recreational opportunities – there are so many sporting clubs for both adults and kids. We’re a rich community with a great lifestyle and there’s just so much for everyone. Whether you’re single, whether you’re a family in the district, and certainly our seniors – there are community groups available to everyone! Plus we’re only 8-10km from the CBD and there’s a great train line, so if you work in town you can have the best of both worlds by leaving the chaos behind and coming back out to our beautiful district. Is there anything in particular you would like to let locals know about? The key for my team and I is making sure Tennyson Ward is very liveable. A lot of the work we do is trying to make sure that when there is change that we manage in a way that’s going to benefit our community. We’re always working on major playground updates in our community. We recently had a major upgrade to
Paul with Nicole Johnston
the Dunlop Memorial Pool with brand new pool facilities going in there and the new operators are doing a wonderful job providing one of the most popular pools in Brisbane. We’ve got other park upgrades happening, new footpaths being built, and roads are being improved. How can locals be involved? As mentioned, one of the great things about our district is that we have a range of community groups involved in all aspects of community life. My team, as well as State and Federal Members, work very closely with the groups about what’s happening in our area. They’re always the first people I speak to in finding out whether something’s a good idea or not, and it really depends on your interest as to what you’d like to get involved with. I work with the Oxley/ Chelmer history group to write books and to document the history of our local area. If you want to get involved in one of these great local community groups, you can find them all on my website. We’re also very lucky with our schools. There are a wonderful mix of state schools, private schools and childcare centres. I work actively with all of those groups to make sure that we’re doing things that are going to improve safety, access and amenity. You can join my mailing list and get my monthly update about what’s happening in our area and keep track of developments, new initiatives and to keep in touch with me.
