Joining Chris Eddy on today's Local Leaders episode is Cr Tammy Radford, mayor of Cardinia Shire, one of the fastest growing areas in Victoria.
"Push yourself. Just because you're feeling nervous and you're not sure about something, don't hide away from it, just push yourself."
The rapid population growth has led to a need for critical infrastructure improvements.
Cr Radford became a councillor through a community leadership program,
and is a strong advocate for gender equality in local government.
She believes that more needs to be done to address bullying and improve mental health support for councillors.
