Adam Duncan (right) will have another attempt at Vincent council, running for north ward.

A senate candidate last month for the Greens, Mr Duncan is a catering manager who lives in Mt Hawthorn and says bike paths, underground power and greening the streets are big priorities.

On the issue of council mergers he says, “I’m not against amalgamation as such, but when you have a community that’s been built up over a couple of years then you want to preserve that identity, and not tear it apart”.

He says in an ideal world Vincent would stay solo, but if mergers go ahead Perth is a better fit. He’s in the part of town that would be shipped to Stirling under current plans, and says Perth better understands the inner-city atmosphere.

At the last council election Mr Duncan included the Greens’ logo on his flyers. He’s still open about his party affiliation but says this time round he left the logos off because some voters saw it as politicising local government.

He says the party’s social justices stances are key for him, but the environmental concerns also rank highly.

Mr Duncan is 44, has three kids, and enjoys spending Sundays watching WAFL games.
