TERRY
PRIDHAM
I was born in Kadina,
South Australia and
came to W.A some 53
years ago. I lived a fair
bit of my life in
Perenjori and farmed
with my brother. I am
married to Anne and
we have two grown up children, Glencora and
Xavier. While in Perenjori I served 6 years as a
Shire Councillor.
Anne and I moved to Corrigin about 5.5 years ago
when we retired because of family connections and
we were also drawn by the services and facilities
Corrigin has to offer i.e. doctor, hospital etc. I stood
for Shire Council 3 years ago and I have one more
year to go.
Council these days is a lot different to the early
days because of the Local Government Act
changing in 1995. I have enjoyed serving as a
Councillor and listening to the people of Corrigin in
their comments, either good or bad. As Corrigin is
predominantly a grain and sheep area, I do feel we
need other ways to keep our town progressing.
One way we can do this is by promoting Tourism.
This has been one of my main reasons for
becoming a Councillor. If we can attract more
tourists to town our shops and services can
expand, which will be great for our Shire. More
tourists, more dollars to go around.
Council Elections will be held in 2017.
“ I encourage anyone who thinks
they have something to offer our
Shire, don’t hesitate to apply when
vacancies on Council occur, as you
will be rewarded for your efforts”.
I look forward to the next 12 months on Council
and am happy to discuss any issues with
community members.
