Jess Miller - City of Sydney

Jess was elected to the City of Sydney Council as part of the Clover Moore Independent team in 2016. Part of her motivation for being on council was to help ensure that the views of younger people were being represented in local Government (especially with regard to the 24 hour economy). She also wanted to help the City to set a global example of how to deal with the changing climate.

Jess’s key areas of expertise are in environmental systems, specifically urban ecology and urban forestry, and local food systems. She is an advocate for a slow city with lots of active and public transport, character, community, sport, colour and creativity.
