Councillor Christine Forster was elected to the City
of Sydney Council in September 2012, and re-elected in 2016.
Prior to joining Council, Christine had a long history

and charity work since the early 1990s, including more than a decade in elected
leadership roles and managing a community-based childcare facility.
Christine has a degree in economics and worked as a
journalist covering the Australian petroleum and mining industries until 2016.
She is currently employed in the corporate affairs department of Woodside,

She is also a regular commentator on politics and current affairs in a variety

constituents and deliver sustainable infrastructure and services that help
communities to thrive and prosper.
