Lindsay is a hard-working gentleman in every sense of the word and of the highest character, working with integrity and honesty. He is very connected to South Gippsland as he has lived here for most of his life and has dedicated his efforts to many groups over the years including school council, the local CFA, sporting clubs and community committees.
Most notable has been Lindsay's contribution to the Leongatha Cycling Club which he has been an active member of for over 40 years and still dedicates his time to train and encourage young members. His experience as a farmer, engineer, business operator, town planner and building designer make him an asset to local groups as he can take the bare bones of an idea, or concept, and flesh it out in great detail, in an amazingly short amount of time.
Lindsay has been an active member of the South Gippsland Action Group in recent years where he is extremely single minded in his dedication to working toward whatever it takes to benefit the people of South Gippsland and all areas of the region. He advocates on behalf of local communities to be provided with all the data, resources, information and assistance for those communities to arrive at solutions they can own.
Lindsay is a strong advocate for growth in tourism opportunities in the region with a focus to end ageism to facilitate access for all abilities to all the region's tourist attractions and scenic vantage points, especially on the Prom.
This year, he has created a proposal to upgrade the Coal Creek tourist attraction in Korumburra into a world-class 'must visit' fun destination for residents and visitors of all ages in all seasons. If adopted it is proposed to save the Council a significant amount of money by creating a self-sustaining and profitable unique tourist attraction icon for the region.
Those who know Lindsay are proud to have him as a friend and associate as he makes the world a better place for all who know him. He has the art of remaining positive no matter how difficult the going gets.
