Testimonials
Fiona McKinnon – Resident
As a long time Box Hill resident, I am very happy that Tina is seeking re-election as our Councillor in Sparks Ward.
In my many interactions with Tina over the years she has invariably impressed with her sincere, friendly and professional approach. She is always accessible, responsive and follows up with practical solutions, guidance and advice.
Our area bears witness to the improvements she has instigated and achieved. This is her community too, and she understands our needs and works tirelessly for us all.
I support her wish to continue this work, and her strong advocacy for Box Hill in these difficult times.
Bihong Wang – President, Asian Business Association of Whitehorse (ABAW)
Tina has been a dedicated voice for our community, growing up right here in Box Hill, where her parents have been small business owners for many years. Her deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing local businesses, combined with her unwavering commitment to our multicultural community, makes her an outstanding representative for the Sparks Ward.
Tina has consistently championed the interests of both residents and business owners. She understands the unique cultural fabric of our community and values inclusivity, which is evident in her work supporting diverse voices and perspectives. Tina is not only a true local but also a strong advocate for local businesses, always ensuring that their needs are heard and addressed.
Her proven track record of community engagement and leadership has earned her the trust and respect of many. I have seen firsthand how she works tirelessly to support the growth and development of our city, and her dedication is an inspiration.
For these reasons, I fully support Tina Liu in her re-election campaign and believe she is the right choice to continue representing the Sparks Ward.
Rod Rankin – Resident
I have lived in the Sparks Ward (formerly Elgar Ward) of Box Hill for more than three decades and for the past eight years, Councillor Liu has admirably represented our whole community and has been a superb conduit for our collective concerns.
Before I needed to engage directly with Councillor Liu, she had earnt a stellar reputation for being an outstanding advocate for our community and a person who could be relied on, to achieve the best possible outcome for all.
When I needed support, Councillor Liu carefully listened to my concerns and then directed me through the required process with compassion and care. When I was ready to formerly lodge my concerns with Council, I found that Councillor Liu had already communicated with the relevant authority and that they were ready and more than eager to properly address my needs.
There are many more examples where Councillor Liu has been instrumental in the provision of excellent service, like saving our very important Service Centre in Box Hill from closure.
In my experience, Councillor Liu has always been approachable and has efficiently delivered on her commitments, in a professional and pleasing way.
I strongly recommend you vote for Councillor Liu knowing that she will continue to be accessible, have a whole community-focus and effectively deliver on commitments with professionalism and care.
George Petheriotis – President, Box Hill United Football Club
I am writing to express my heartfelt support for Tina Liu, who has served as a ward councillor for the City of Whitehorse over the past eight years, including the last four years as our Sparks Ward councillor.
Tina has been an unwavering advocate for our local community soccer club, Box Hill United FC, which serves both females and males from ages five to seniors.
As the President of our club and an active participant in our community, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact Tina has made on our club and the families we serve. From the very beginning, Tina has shown genuine interest in our club and a commitment to support youth sports and community engagement for their development and well-being.
Tina actively seeks to understand our challenges and find solutions. She has visited our club in various conditions without hesitation, on weekends, evenings, and in the rain demonstrating her dedication to finding positive outcomes.
Her deep understanding of our club has enabled her to secure funding for field improvements and advocate for better facilities with the council and all levels of government, greatly benefiting our broader community.
I wholeheartedly endorse Tina Liu for continued service as a City of Whitehorse councillor. Her dedication to enriching the lives of our local residents is invaluable.
Thank you for considering this testimonial. I am confident that Tina will continue to play a vital role in fostering a strong community spirit.

Her passion to create a more harmonious and sustainable society, essential for our future wellbeing, makes her an exemplary leader.

Like myself, Tina works in a local family business. She has an excellent understanding of the Whitehorse business community and is very supportive of our local business group.
