Hi, I'm Lilijana Nicholls, candidate for Cockburn East Ward

I’m running for Council because I believe in proactive, community-focused leadership. As someone with a strong background in youth advocacy, science communication and government, I bring a new, youthful perspective to local issues.
I’ve spent years working alongside youth and volunteering to build stronger, more inclusive communities. I want to ensure Cockburn continues to be a vibrant, connected City where every voice is heard. I’m running to listen, to act, and to help make our East Ward the best it can be.
