About this episode
Jaysen Miguel discusses the complexities of local government and community leadership in Bunbury.
Speak to our friends at Koombana Financial today about your free initial chat to discuss your financial future. www.koombanafinacial.com.au In our six monthly catchup, we chew the fat on local government, public pressure, city growth, online outrage, development projects, parking problems, tourism, events, housing, and what it really takes to make decisions that affect an entire community. This episode goes beyond politics. It’s a dive into leadership, public perception, social media influence, long-term city planning, and the balancing act of trying to improve a regional city while keeping everyone happy at the same time. Jaysen opens up about the realities of council life, why simple solutions usually aren’t simple, the pressure of public criticism, the future of Bunbury’s CBD, major projects currently in motion, and why community engagement matters more than ever.
