Cr Metcalf is a lifelong resident of Bendigo and is returning to Council for a second term. She is focused on being accessible to the community and looks forward to hearing from and meeting with residents throughout this term. So as the community understands her decision making, Cr Metcalf also looks forward to continuing her record on speaking to most matters before Council.
