Tracie Lund - Standing for a stronger community
Tracie Lund is the Manager of the Morwell Neighbourhood House and has worked tirelessly in the community since starting there in 2012. She has introduced and championed much-needed initiatives, resulting in the Morwell Neighbourhood House becoming a renowned hub where vital support is available for everyone, no matter their circumstances.
Tracie is currently running for the seat of Morwell, after running as an independent candidate in the 2014 State Election, securing 11% of the vote and transforming the once safe seat of Morwell into one of the most marginal electorates in Victoria.
Tracie has earned a reputation as a highly-respected community leader in the Latrobe Valley and is a sitting Councillor of Latrobe City Council after being elected in 2020.
In 2014 when the Hazelwood Mine Fire broke out just 400 metres from the heart of Morwell, Tracie was compelled to act as an advocate for the residents of Morwell and found herself thrust into the communications vacuum. She was a conduit between services and community, providing affected residents with up-to-date information and support that was lacking.
She is passionate about grassroots democracy and strongly believes that investment in and support of the community improves health and wellbeing, resilience, and employment opportunities. Her experience in supporting the local community every day on the ground has given her insight into what is required as the community navigates the future.
