Peaceful Bayside is bringing community action and fresh, visionary leadership to Bayside
join the party!
In 2023, with the help of our supporters, Peaceful Bayside matured from just a community group and was successfully registered as a local government political party! This enabled us to run fantastic local candidates in all wards in the 2024 Bayside local government elections. And we were able to get two councillors elected! Dr Janin Bredehoeft for Ward 3 and Heidi Lee Douglas for Ward 5, who was subsequently elected as Deputy Mayor. Thank you to the thousands of Baysiders who made this happen!
Why join Peaceful Bayside?
Peaceful Bayside is a local community political party that is focused on making Bayside better from the grassroots up. We are a strong, independent voice for our local community, not tied to the agenda or ambitions of major political parties. Do you too want a safer streets, with better-managed green spaces, more liveable and inclusive neighbourhoods, and a more support for arts and culture in Bayside?
Then join us! We are stronger together, and we have already made a real difference in Council and beyond. From the noise camera trial being delivered by the state government, to new masterplans in the works for Brighton-Le-Sands and Rockdale, to our push for a Circular Economy Hub, and so much more!
Let's keep growing the movement for fresh, visionary leadership on Bayside Council.

HERE’S HOW TO JOIN
1) 🛂 Check your enrolment details at the Australian Electoral Commission website here. When you fill out the party membership form, all details must match those on the electoral role exactly or your Peaceful Bayside membership will be rejected by the electoral commission.
This includes any errors in hyphenations, middle names, as well as any name and/or address changes. The NSW Electoral Commission checks the details of every member and any difference between your form and the electoral role however small or seemingly insignificant, will mean your form/party membership will be rejected.
OK that's done! Thanks!
2) Now please fill out the Declaration of party membership form here, ensuring all your details, including given name/s, which should include any middle name/s, family name (your surname) and your address. Please note: the party name is simply "Peaceful Bayside" - it is not "Peaceful Bayside Party". If you call it Peaceful Bayside Party your form will be rejected from the electoral commission. 😞
To fill out the form:
-
Download the PDF form and save it to your laptop. Complete all the necessary sections and save.
-
Via computer: you can use your unique digital signature. You must use your own personal electronic signature and not a generic one.
4) You can only be a member of one political party at a time, so if you are already a member of another political party you will need to email that party to resign before you can join our Peaceful Bayside party.
5) Attach your completed PDF to an email and send it to:
heidi.peacefulbayside@gmail.com. If you have any problems call Heidi on 0417 968 981.
6) Please ask your friends, family and neighbours to join the Peaceful Bayside party too!
Email heidi.peacefulbayside@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Thanks for your time and support - together with your care, we are making and will continue to make Bayside better.
Creating a Peaceful Bayside political party together meant Peaceful Bayside appeared above the line on the ballot paper at the 14 September 2024 election. It’s simply so much easier for people to work out how to vote if they see the party name above the line! It's easy - Vote 1 Peaceful Bayside!
