Angelica Di Camilo
Greens candidate for Prahran
Who am I?
A local environmental engineer
I’m an environmental engineer, Pilates teacher and St Kilda East local. I love a good coffee, walking my dog at Alma Park and honestly could spend all my time just getting to know everyone in the neighbourhood – so always come say hi if you ever see me on the street!
Why here?
Prahran is my home
I’ve lived and worked in this community for years. My partner Anthony and I have built our lives here. Through Pilates and out on the streets, I’ve connected with so many different people across the electorate, and I care deeply about the lives of my neighbours and community.
What do you hope to achieve?
A representative who puts community first
Our community deserves an active local member who does politics differently. Who will push hard on housing affordability, climate action and thriving local streets. My five local priorities are: investing in our frontline community services, funding arts and youth, tram 78 accessibility, more green space, and community-owned green energy.
What are my top concerns?
It’s getting harder and harder to get ahead
Locals are telling me they’re feeling squeezed. By rent and mortgage payments, energy bills and groceries, and the mounting cost of climate inaction. They feel government has abandoned our crucial frontline services, at a time we need them now more than ever.
Why vote for me?
Bring the power back to the community
People are fed up with politics not working for them. They’re sick of career politicians, and want someone real to represent them. I’m an environmental engineer who solves problems and delivers real outcomes. I take no corporate donations, and never will. I’m here to bring power back to the community.
