He has been awarded a Centenary Medal for his work with migrants and Ballarat Citizen of the Year in 2021.
Dr Sivamalai’s top three council issues are community engagement in social planning, improvement of infrastructure, and community safety, especially for women and children.
He said Ballarat’s planning should relate to the city’s changing demographics and that poor road conditions need to be improved following local accidents and fatalities.
About safety he said some women now felt “hesitant to go out” after recent incidents, children have been harrassed in public places, and property has been vandalised.
Dr Sivamalai has no political party affiliations and was a union member when he was an academic at the University of Ballarat and University of Melbourne.

Mr Anderson is a member of the Liberal Party, but is not endorsed by the party.
He is also a member of the Victorian Ambulance Union as an ambulance calltaker at Triple Zero Victoria.

Damon Saunders (successful)
Damon Saunders is standing in Alfredton Ward.
He is a former police officer and prosecutor.
Mr Saunders said the council should focus on “delivering the basics very well”, which includes fixing roads and footpaths, keeping rates down, collecting rubbish weekly, supporting sports and heritage, and having “real and transparent community consultation”.
“Local issues only,” he said.
Mr Saunders was a member of the United Australia Party and has no political affiliations now.
“I have integrity, common sense, experience and determination,” he said.
“I’m a practical problem solver, focused on workable solutions that get results.

“I really do care and I like helping people,” Mr Saunders said.

Brown Hill Ward
Ted Lapkin (successful)
Ted Lapkin is a former political adviser and has worked with federal ministers and US senators.
He lives outside the edge of Brown Hill Ward, and enjoys the ward’s history, trails, and people.
Mr Lapkin’s main motivations for his candidacy are what he called the “tone-deafness” of the current council towards the cost of living.
“Ballarat Council has consistently raised rates while cutting back on basic services like household rubbish collection from weekly to fortnightly,” he said.
“The Council continues to live beyond its means, borrowing millions of dollars to fund prestige development projects that have seen massive budget blowouts.
“Councillors and Council staff indulge in all-expenses-paid international junkets for dubious purposes, like last July’s UN cultural conference in Portugal.”
He has pledged to stop or lower a projected rates rise and has expressed dissatisfaction with the condition of roads, seeking a “back-to-basics approach”.
Mr Lapkin seeks accountability and transparency and says he will prioritise residents over bureaucrats if elected.
He resigned from the Liberal Party in 2015 and is not now affiliated with any political group.
Ellen Burns
Ellen Burns grew up in Warrenheip and lived most of her life in Brown Hill.
She founded We Bar None and is the president and co-founder of The Hidden Orchard.
Ms Burns is an advocate for climate action, social justice, and improving Brown Hill residents’ quality of life.
She has concerns about density and overdevelopment, service provision, accessible public transport, a lack of footpaths and bike paths, and the protection of the environment.
Ms Burns said she would fight for policies that improve local food systems and lower power bills to improve the cost of living.
Among her other concerns are waste management, for which she would advocate for a waste processing precinct in BWEZ, and sustainable development, which she believes should not outpace services and infrastructure.
“Brown Hill is the fastest growing suburb in Ballarat and yet there has been very little investment in infrastructure in Ballarat’s east,” Ms Burns said.
“Housing developments have been built without footpath or public transport connections, isolating sections of our community.
“Road quality and often speed limits have not kept pace with increasing number of residents and children walking on roads with high speed limits and no footpaths.”
Ms Burns ran as the Greens candidate for Wendouree in the 2022 state election and is an endorsed member of the Greens.
Amy Johnson
Amy Johnson has been a North Ward councillor since 2012 and was deputy mayor for three terms from 2020 to 2023.
Ms Johnson lives just outside the boundary of Brown Hill and says she is “deeply connected to the area and committed to addressing the needs and concerns of its residents”.
Her three most pressing issues are managing population growth, affordability, and protecting Ballarat’s environment and heritage.
“As Ballarat continues to expand, ensuring that our infrastructure and services keep pace with this growth is critical,” Ms Johnson said.
“This includes thoughtful urban planning for new suburbs, ensuring high standards of liveability, and maintaining our city’s character.
“ ... It’s important that we continue to provide essential services while keeping rates as low as possible, balancing the budget responsibly so that residents aren’t unfairly burdened.”
She said that protecting green spaces, improving waste management, and keeping long-term sustainability in mind would help preserve Ballarat’s character for future generations.
Ms Johnson is a member of the Liberal Party.

Mr Pattie-Williams, who lives in Mount Clear, argues for a city well-connected by public transport, a campaign to help stamp out violence, and sustainable growth which limits urban sprawl.
His primary focus is on combating climate change, as well as organising a city-wide campaign to eradicate domestic violence and offering a variety of different housing amid Ballarat’s growing population.
“Extending the boundaries of the city comes with a lot of expense in providing transport, community hubs, and other services,” Mr Pattie-Williams said.
“Constraining the boundaries, means existing public and active transport infrastructure can be improved at less expense and greater convenience to users.”
Mr Pattie-Williams has never belonged to a political party and has been a member of unions related to his work.
He was heavily involved in the church until 12 years ago, ran a campaign for Family First in the Howard era, was state chair for Australian Christian Lobby, and was president of a Christian school in the Dandenong Ranges.
