Goulburn Citizen of the year to stand for council

Goulburn Mulwaree's Citizen of the year Alfie Walker will be nominating for September's Local Government elections.

Mr. Walker who'll be standing as an independent has just come back from Alice Springs as part of his work with Mission Australia.

As part of a team from NSW they helped their northern territory colleagues with case work structure.

He says the work can be challenging at the best of times.

Mr. Walker who's chairperson of the Aboriginal Lands Council was recognised for his work in the community on Australia Day this year being given a Citizen of the year award.

He believes he has much to offer the community.

In the meantime the Goulburn local says he'll be looking forward to hearing the concerns, aspirations and challenges that face residents.
