Peter Campbell, independant candidate for Burwood

As a long-term resident of Surrey Hills, I greatly value our tree-lined streets, parks and gardens, recreational facilities, cultural activities and diversity.  I have lived in Surrey Hills for over 20 years, our house is now in the Burwood electorate. I work as an IT Consultant. My daughter attends Canterbury Primary School.

I am not a member of any political party. If elected I will seek to represent the views of all Burwood residents in the Victoria parliament rather than the interests of any political party.

My community activities include:

• Park revegetation with the Friends of South Surrey Park, 
• Advocating for safe family-friendly cycling infrastructure with the Boroondara Bicycle Users Group.
• Volunteering with Bush Search and Rescue Victoria for over 30 years, assisting Victoria Police with search and rescue activities throughout Victoria.
• I established Greenlivingpedia in 2007 - a website that anyone can contribute to - for sharing information about green living, green building and community action.
• I am a very keen kitesurfer and have written this Kitesurfing Handbook to promote safe practices among people learning to kitesurf.
