A Strong Voice. A Fairer Box Hill.

Dr Heena Sinha Cheung

Independent Candidate · Box Hill

Putting people before party politics — protecting the places we love, easing the cost of living, improving transport and strengthening our community.

Why it matters

Three local fights. One independent voice.

01

02

Defend Local Voice

03

Fund our Neighbourhood Houses

The Whitehorse alliance of Neighbourhood Houses runs at a 25% real funding gap. These women-led spaces are where safety, connection and crisis response actually happen. Close the gap.
