Darren Kelly: Candidate for Councillor
Mount Barker District Council Supplementary Election: Sep'25
Concerned about your Council?
If elected, I will:
Challenge unnecessary spending to keep rates down.
Focus on essentials: roads, rubbish, and core services.
Focus on traffic and parking solutions in Hahndorf and across Mount Barker.
Push for infrastructure improvements across the entire ward and district.
Apply an engineering mindset and practical, solutions-focused thinking.
Listen, engage, and strongly advocate for what matters most to residents and ratepayers.
Restore transparency and common sense in decision-making.
Preserve the unique & valuable character of our townships
— particularly historic Hahndorf.
I’ll fight to ensure the South Ward voice is heard clearly in the chamber.
Hahndorf has been my home for over 20 years. I’ve raised a family here, run a business from the main street, and have spoken up more than a few times when things haven’t made sense.
I never pictured myself doing this — but like many, I see room for improvement, especially on the things that really matter to the community.
If you want genuine local representation with no political agendas, I’d very much appreciate your support. Vote for local representation who will represent your voice in the chamber.
