WELCOME TO PEOPLE POWER.

Thank you for logging in. For People Power 2016. Check out our Larry Whipper People Power Team Website.





If you care about environment, social justice, ethical economics and community, particularly if you live in the Southern Highlands of NSW, you have come to the right place. I would ask you to join me in my work to bring these values into play in the Wingecarribee Shire, by increasing awareness among Councillors and decision makers at all levels of government.



As it has been said " no man (or woman) is an island entire of itself. We are a part of the whole" None of us live in isolation. Every action has a reaction, and so it is my belief that together we can bring about changes in the way we interact with each other and our natural environment. But I do need your help.



It is my intention to stand again for the Local Government Election in 2008. I need your help to achieve this. I need your support to continue to work to maintain the integrity of our Shire. I need your help to continue to fight for the future and advocate for the things that matter to you, your children and their children...



Come and join me in this quest and bring your friends along. It is my hope that we can make this a meeting place where ideas, can mix together to create positive and effective outcomes.




A place where we can work together to bring about social justice, raise environmental awareness and encourage economic decisions based on compassion and integrity.

Alex McCaffrey joins the team.


Clr Larry Whipper today announced Alex McCaffrey as the 4th member of his Community Action Team. “At 34 years of age, Alex brings energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the already impressive mix of talents on the team.”

Alex has lived in the Southern Highlands for many years and is a resident of the family orientated area of East Bowral. She is the proud mother of 3 young children aged, 6, 8 and 10 years. Her eldest son attends Tudor House, and Alex’s two younger children attend Bowral Public.

Alex graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Legal Studies. She has also worked in the areas of social justice and community rehabilitation assisting people to reintegrate back into the community. Alex is now employed in the welfare sector and is currently employed at Community Links Wollondilly as a Brighter Futures Caseworker – working with families who have children aged 0 – 8. Alex also works at the Southern Highlands Youth Accommodation Service in Bowral, as a Youth Worker.

“I am impressed by Alex’s’ political insights and community sincerity”, Larry said “Her involvement within the Wingecarribee shire, including membership of the Bowral Public Parents and Citizens Committee, the Parents and Friends Committee at Tudor House and her connection with the Mittagong Soccer Club and the Southern Highland Hawks AFL give an indication of the community insights and understanding that she can bring to the table at Council”.

“Alex’s’ passion for the Southern Highlands, particularly her desire to maintain a social, psychological and healthy lifestyle for families and to protect open spaces and provide a safe environment for children to live and play, fits the Community Action ethos perfectly. Her strong desire to advocate for the needs of women and for providing opportunities to youth, also reinforces the core values of of our policies and what I believe to be the will of the people of the Shire as well”! Larry said.
