Caroline is strongly attached to Kingston having grown up in Aspendale and living much of her life in the area. Her small business experience running her own dance studio for over a decade provides her with strong business acumen, leadership and commercial pragmatism.
Caroline will bring her management skills and business experience to the Council to improve its performance and in turn the liveability of residents. She is proud mum to her 11-year-old son Lenny and heavily involved local sporting clubs and community groups.
In 2022, she stood as the independent in the lower house for Clarinda, gaining over 14% of the after-preferential votes were distributed, an incredible result for a first-time state candidate. She advocated against megadebt infrastructure that offers no real solutions and, in most cases, poses extremely detrimental consequences to the local environment, economy and wellbeing of residents, imposed by the State Labor government with no community consultation.
She believes now more than ever we need government representation that has no affiliation to any political party, a truly independent voice to represent the best interests of our community and our home. Caroline stands for transparency, integrity and accountability and that’s why she continues to fight for common sense values, efficient government, and economic empowerment for the people of Caruana and Victoria.
“My aims are to reduce council rates to help residents with cost-of-living pressure by cutting wasteful spending, optimising council resources and operational efficiency, and improving the culture of council to facilitate entrepreneurship, economic and business growth. I believe Council needs to bring the focus back to roads, rates and rubbish.” Caroline White
