Councillor Mike Creed is a Macquarie local, born and bred in the lower Mountains and now serving his second term as a Councillor on Hawkesbury Council. Passionate about our vast electorate and communities, he will campaign for funding for the necessary services and infrastructure for Macquarie.
Mike Creed attended Blaxland East Public, Blaxland High and Penola Catholic College schools and started his working life like many young people in our community at a local McDonalds. He has been Operations Manager in a family-owned business, an advisor to senior Liberal politicians and went on to build a local small business as the owner of the first pet-friendly café in Penrith.
“Raised with the belief that success comes through hard work and giving back to the community, I have always been motivated by a desire to make a positive contribution to the community that has given me and my family so much,” said Mr Creed. “Over the years, that has involved participation in many local initiatives, sports clubs, charitable organisations, and business groups.”
Mike has been involved with a myriad of local causes, including organising the Glenbrook Festival, serving as a director of the Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce, Peppercorn Services which provides services for the disadvantaged, Western Sydney Academy of Sport, as well as being an Ambassador for Music for Life which raises funds for the Charlie Teo Foundation’s search for a brain cancer cure.
Serving his second term as an elected Councillor, Mike has continued his passionate advocacy for Westen Sydney and its issues, such as the economic survival of local businesses and households struggling with the Labor cost of living crisis.
“Born and raised in this electorate, I have a strong connection with this community, and it has been incredibly tough watching what has been happening to it over the last few years,” Mr Creed said. “This community has been under incredible pressure from increasing mortgage repayments, rents, electricity and petrol prices, and the sharp increases in the cost of food.”
“Our community needs a strong advocate at a time when local households and businesses are finding their budgets stretched beyond breaking point.”
“I put myself forward as the candidate for Macquarie because I know we live in one of the most amazing parts of Australia, and I will fight to protect its unique character.”
“If elected, I will work tirelessly to bring more funding for our services and infrastructure, and ensure that Macquarie schools and hospitals get the funding they need, we get the funding our roads need for repairs after numerous natural disasters, and upgrades for our sporting facilities.”
“Our community has been doing it tough under the Albanese Labor Government, and we need someone who will stand up for struggling families and small businesses.”
“Only a Liberal Government will take the pressure off households by reigning in Labor’s inflationary spending and bringing the Budget under control. Liberal governments have the proven track record of delivering lower interest rates and lower taxes, and the only way to get the infrastructure and service our community needs is by voting Liberal,” Mr Creed concluded.
