In this episode, I sit down with Shire President of Dardanup: Tyrrell Gardiner.. He's a cattle farmer and proud fourth-generation councillor. We unpack the realities of local government, the identity of regional WA, and the emotional weight of community leadership. From the evolving urban sprawl of Eaton and Millbridge to the ambitious future city of Wanju, Tyrrell brings grounded insight on what it really means to shape a growing region. We dig into council dynamics, generational perspective, infrastructure, sport, and the hot topic of council amalgamations.
