Engineer Claire Ferres Miles combines deep local roots as a 30-year resident with significant leadership experience running large organisations, including Sustainability Victoria, and her own small business.
Casey stretches from the suburban fringe through the Dandenong Ranges to the Yarra Valley, facing increasing pressures from natural disasters, infrastructure gaps, and cost of living challenges. Claire's campaign emphasises the need for stronger emergency services support, with the local CFA and SES volunteers stretched thin by intensifying storms, floods and bushfires. She's particularly focused on securing emergency healthcare access for the Yarra Valley and addressing the region's childcare shortages.
