Tell us about yourself!
Hi, I’m Hans VANDERSTADT, Running as an independent candidate for the Derinya Ward in the upcoming Frankston City Council election.
Born in Melbourne to immigrant parents, I am married with three adult children, including a daughter with disabilities.
We currently rent in Frankston after recently stepping down from my role at Camberwell Electrics, a business I owned and operated for over 35 years, due to the challenging economic climate.
I stand for a “Back to Basics” approach, committed to consulting with and representing our community effectively. My focus includes addressing local priorities such as improving roads, waste collection and recycling, rates, community safety, and supporting families, jobs, and local businesses.
I am dedicated to tackling cost-of-living issues, mental health, disability, and aged care. I am passionate about supporting volunteer community-based charity groups, community activities, and the arts.
I am also committed to protecting our local environment and natural assets, advocating for sustainable planning, and building approvals for diverse housing options - both affordable and luxury. Revitalising Frankston City Centre is essential to make it the vibrant heart of Greater Frankston. I pledge to cut red tape, ensure wise spending of rates, and uphold good governance.
I will support the celebration of Australia Day, Christmas, Citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day, and the provision of women-only toilets. I am committed to treating everyone equally, regardless of their status, preferences, ethnicity, or beliefs.
My goal is to advance Frankston by focusing on community and supporting our youth, making Derinya Ward and Frankston a safe, thriving, and waste-free place. Love where we live, Frankston.
