RIVERA, Tekohi
Resident of South Hedland with wife and three school aged children, I am a strong believer in living where you work and giving to the community where you can. I work for a local engineering consultancy based in Port Hedland. Over the last thirty years, I have had twelve years’ experience as a local government engineer. Most recently as a Director Infrastructure Services for a regional council in New South Wales. So I know Local Government. Between those jobs I have worked as project engineer for main roads departments, hard dollar civil contractors and as a CEO of an overseas government corporation in the Pacific Islands. I look forward to the opportunity to serve Hedland residents and make Hedland more liveable and appealing for workers and their families.

BENNETT, Flo
Port Hedland has always been my home. I went to Primary School and High School here and am now raising my young family here. Growing up in Hedland, I've seen the highs and lows, the many missed opportunities and the ever-changing dynamics and challenges that our town and its people face daily. I'm not only passionate about our home, I want to see positive changes take place and not just spoken about. Putting focus on small businesses, growing infrastructure especially for families to call Hedland home, working with our indigenous communities and it's members, allowing the people of our town voices to be heard and then actioning them to move Hedland forward. It won't be an easy task but with the right people in council, we can grow Port Hedland into the place we all know it can be.

ECKHART, David
I have been a resident here in Hedland for six years and, whilst I am not naive enough to think I can make a difference, I do believe I can have a say in where we, as a community, should be heading for the rest of the decade, and beyond.
In my work here, I have heard many different opinions over the years of the Council, and it's various Councillors, and the Commissioner over that time. I have listened but I have never ventured to agree, nor disagree with those that air their views publicly. It's everyone's right to hold, and voice, an opinion.
If I am entrusted with enough votes to be elected, I will continue to listen to those opinions, but from the perspective of an elected member of the community's chosen body. I will endeavour to gain answers to questions asked of me, as a Councillor.

KEW MING, Lewis
Hedland locals know me better as "China".
I have lived in Port for 25 years and have experience working in the Pilbara. My passion for helping the community has given me a good knowledge of what the people in Port need.
I have always helped the people of my community, young and old, with particular interest in helping youth, families and indigenous groups through sporting activities at my gym. The gym I run voluntarily and was subsequently awarded Port's "Volunteer Person of the Year" in 2015.
I have been employed at the Hedland Hospital for thirteen years and have a good relationship with the elderly patients.
On Council I would like to be the people's voice, put forward their needs and make a real difference to the community, because my life's purpose has always been to help others.

BUTSON, Lorraine
Port Hedland has been my home for 55 years where I have completed my education, nursing career and raised my family. As a health professional I see the struggles of living in the Pilbara and the challenges our town continues to face daily.
Many issues within our community include mental health, childcare, affordable housing, youth, seniors and our environment.
Struggles facing small businesses need to be adequately addressed for future growth towards employment opportunities.
This is OUR town.
Working together with a united council, WE can address and action these challenges affecting our community.
Port Hedland is the Engine room of Australia and has stayed open for business throughout Covid.
As a heritage town we deserve a better deal.
Your Vote allows me to be your voice on council.
