Who is John

Doing what matters for our community

From Wheelers Hill in the South to Vermont in the North, and everywhere in between, our community is a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. But there is more to do. Whether it's rolling out Free Kinder, investing in schools and TAFE, delivering real climate action or the Suburban Rail Loop, I'm proud to be doing what matters.

A community of many cultures

Home to more than 80,000 people, the Glen Waverley District is a melting pot of cultures and languages from all corners of the globe. In fact, more than half of all residents in the District speak a language other than English.

Getting around

We have terrific access to public transport, including both Syndal and Glen Waverley Train Stations, the Route 75 tram and the 902 and 703 SmartBus services.

Local shops and schools

The District is well served by terrific local shops at Vermont South, Brentford Square, Forest Hill Chase, Kingsway and The Glen. Our community is home to world-class schools, a Holmesglen TAFE campus and direct transport connections to Monash and Deakin Universities, making the Glen Waverley District an attractive option for local families and young people.

Parks and green spaces

We're lucky to have terrific green spaces at our doorstep, too, including the Healesville Freeway Reserve, Bellbird Dell Reserve, Jells Park and Dandenong Creek, plus great public golf courses.
