WELL-known Sunshine Coast television presenter and University lecturer Rosanna Natoli has announced she will run for Mayor at the 2024 local government elections.
A long-time local, Natoli said she could “no longer stand by and watch the community’s needs being ignored”.
“Protecting our lifestyle is incredibly important to locals, and decisions by council impact on us all. I can’t sit on the sidelines any longer … I want to take the Sunshine Coast forward and fight for what matters to us all.”
This is a beautiful place to live and I recognise the intrinsic values the urban and rural communities contribute to the vibrancy of the Sunshine Coast, she said. Natoli cited rail to Brisbane, protecting lifestyle, infrastructure, planning for growth and cost of living as major issues. Maintaining economic strength through local businesses and supporting the huge potential of the tourism industry were also priorities.
