Back in April, Poulos was preselected as a new member of the NSW Legislative Council.
Poulos was deemed qualified for the job as he has served as a Rockdale Councilor for twelve years and as Deputy Mayor for one. He has been a member of the Liberal Party since 1993 and has also served as Urban Vice President in the past.
Mr Poulos defeated Sutherland councillor Kent Johns and two other candidates in a preselection ballot on Saturday.
Born and raised in the St George area, Peter attended Bexley North Public School and Sydney Technical High School, in the area which he still calls home with his wife Vicki and their three young children.
After graduating from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Commerce, Peter went on to work in the finance sector. Having served as a Rockdale Councillor for twelve years, and Deputy Mayor for a year, Peter has been dedicated to delivering services and infrastructure needs of the local community – ensuring an improved financial position that allowed the Council to deliver town centre improvements, new and upgraded playgrounds and foreshore improvements.
