Ludovico Fabiano
Re-elected 1 October 2024
I acknowledge the Bidjigal, Birrabirragal and Gadigal people, who traditionally occupied the Sydney Coast. I also pay my respect to all Aboriginal Elders both past and present.
Bondi has been my home for 30 years. My wife, Robyn and I enjoy the Bondi lifestyle of sun, beach, parks, coastal walks, cycling, table tennis and dog walking – you may have seen me around Bondi walking with my two border collies Bob and Blu.
I have Italian and Russian (Ukraine) heritage. In the 70s my parents decided to immigrate to Australia from Italy, hopeful for better opportunities for our family. Soon after we became Australian citizens, so I now call Australia home.
My professional working life spanned over 40 years in the pharmaceutical industry, where my career was in quality, manufacturing and regulatory affairs.
While living in Bondi I have grown to appreciate the importance of a strong community that cares for what happens in the local environment, residential amenities, parks and beaches and our local heritage – in particular, our Bondi Road heritage.
Being a Waverley Councillor and previous experience as convenor for South Bondi/Tamarama Precinct in the Waverley Ward has allowed me to meet local residents and Council Officers in order to discuss and raise issues of concern impacting residents and our community
For over 13 years my role as Convenor for South Bondi/Tamarama Precinct in the Waverley Ward allowed me to meet local residents, Councillors and Council Officers in order to discuss and raise issues of concern impacting residents and our community.
My plan for Waverley includes:
- Protect the heritage and height limits of Bondi Road
- Support artistic and community life in Waverley
- Protect beaches, parks and biodiversity
- Take local action on climate change
- Increase transparency of council decision making
- Develop Community Renewable Energy Grids
- Planning For People Not Profits
- Council Net Zero Emissions By 2030
- Food Organics, Garden Organics (FOGO)
- Stand Up Against Developer Friendly State Planning Laws
- Increase Council Childcare Places
