Candy Bingham

Strategic Partnerships & Community Engagement

Candy was an independent councillor on the former Manly Council. She championed many community issues, and successfully stopped the deeply flawed Manly Oval Car Park and Manly2015 Plan. She served on ten council committees. 

Deeply involved in Manly, Candy supports the community push to ban single-use plastic bags, acted as chief fundraiser to recreate the iconic Sea Nymphs sculpture at Fairy Bower, was former Chair of Little Manly Precinct, and served on fundraising committees for Manly Women’s Shelter, Manly Rotary and Pioneer Clubhouse.

With more than 25 years management experience running her own  Public Relations & Marketing agency, Tymson Communications, Candy has worked with small business, not-for-profits, major corporations and local and state governments. She is a former Lady Mayoress of Sydney, Coastal Ambassador and the co-author of the recognised textbook on Public Relations in Australia.

Candy is a 3rd generation Manlyite, and is a keen ocean swimmer, bush walker, and local history buff.

Kyeema Doyle

Town Planning & Sports
 
Kyeema has a degree in Environmental and Marine Science, and a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning.

She has lived in Manly all of her life where sport has always been a focus. She represented Australia in the women’s rowing team in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Ky is passionate about local sporting clubs and making sure they are well supported.

After a number of years working in the Planning Department of the City of Sydney Council, Ky now runs her own business as a town planner in Manly.  Some recent clients include The Boathouse at Shelly Beach, St Paul’s College and the redevelopment at Stella Maris school.  She also served on the Public Domains Committee of the former Manly Council.

Craig Smith

Parking, Business, Governance

Craig is Mr Parking with three decades of experience in the car parking industry, including ten years as CEO of Wilson Parking, Australia’s biggest parking operator.  His expertise is a match with Manly’s No 1 problem – parking.

He understands the issues associated with parking and related traffic issues, and has first-hand experience of analysing problem situations and turning them around. Craig will be pushing for a complete parking audit to determine exactly what we have, and how we can best make use of it.  Parking for locals will be a priority.

As a former CEO Craig has extensive experience in business operations, governance and processes.

He and his family have lived in Manly for over 25 years, with both children attending Manly Village Public School. Since retiring in 2015 Craig has been able to spend more time on the greens at Manly Golf Club and surfing the waves at North Steyne.
Good For Manly was established in 2011 as an incorporated community association, and is not politically aligned. None of our candidates, lead by former Manly Councillor Candy Bingham, our Executive, advisors or members belong to any national political party. What we all have in common is our love of Manly and desire to maintain a sense of a strong community.
​
Please support us to ensure a strong independent Council.
