Michael Gencher

Liberal for Pittwater

My plan for Pittwater

Local judgement. Liberal delivery. Pittwater first.

About me

Why I am standing

I am a proud Pittwater local, a husband and a father of five, and my life is grounded in family and community. I am a public relations professional and a former Pittwater Councillor, known for strong local advocacy and a commitment to community safety, transparency and environmental protection.

I live and work locally, run my own small business, serve in local community organisations, volunteer as a Mona Vale Surf Lifesaver, and work with local schools, sporting clubs and community groups.

I am standing as the Liberal candidate for Pittwater because our community deserves more than announcements. Pittwater needs practical outcomes, clear timelines and a local representative who can deliver.

I understand the pressures facing local families, seniors, small businesses and community groups. The cost of living, traffic congestion, planning, access to health services, education, community safety and emergency preparedness all require serious attention.

Pittwater needs delivery.

  • 01

    Fix local roads and transport

    Delivery dates, milestones and accountability for the roads, transport links and local infrastructure Pittwater relies on.

    Ease cost of living pressure

    Practical relief for households, motorists, families and seniors.

  • 03

    Invest in our public schools

    Pittwater's public schools should get their fair share. I will push for greater investment in classrooms, school facilities, maintenance and upgrades, with better support and resources for teachers, students and growing school communities.

  • 04

    Back small business

    Less red tape, practical support and a government that understands local small businesses.

  • 05

    Keep Pittwater safe

    More frontline police, more visible patrols and faster response times. Stronger action on repeat offenders, break ins, car theft, retail crime and antisocial behaviour, together with better CCTV, lighting and practical local crime prevention.

  • 06

    Protect local character

    Planning must come with the roads, schools, drainage, transport and services the community needs, consistent with the NSW Liberals' planning policy, while respecting local planning controls and genuine community consultation.

  • 07

    Improve access to health services

    Better local access to hospital services, urgent care, aged care, mental health services and patient transport.

  • 08

    Invest in sporting grounds and youth activities

    Stronger investment in local sporting fields, upgraded facilities and expanded opportunities for youth programs, so Pittwater's young people have safe, modern spaces to play, train and stay active.

  • 09

    Prepare for storms, floods and bushfire

    Stronger planning for emergency access, flood resilience, bushfire readiness and coastal protection.
