About Me

Hi! I’m David Taylor, and I am running for the Comenarra Ward in Ku-ring-gai. I believe in fostering a community where everyone feels empowered, connected, and supported.
Here’s a bit more about my background and why I’m passionate about serving our community.

I have a deep-rooted connection to Ku-Ring-Gai, having grown up in Wahroonga and experienced firsthand the unique character and vibrant spirit of our community. I was lucky enough to attended Fox Valley Pre-School, Warrawee Public School and Knox Grammar School (OKG15), along with my two younger brothers, James and Matthew. These experiences laid a strong foundation in both academics and community involvement. My journey has been enriched by my role as a small business owner, running the International School of Music in Turramurra, along with several other ventures. These experiences have provided me with a wealth of knowledge in management, leadership, and community engagement. My work has always been centred around fostering growth, whether it’s through education, business, or community projects.

My commitment to Ku-ring-gai has been recognised through various accolades. I was honoured to be named Ku-Ring-Gai Young Citizen of the Year in 2017, an award that underscores my passion and dedication to our community. As Vice President of St Ives Football Club, I have worked tirelessly to promote sports and community spirit, ensuring that our local clubs have the support and resources they need to thrive. In addition to my professional and community roles, I recently completed my MBA, further enhancing my skills in strategic planning, leadership, and organisational management. This advanced education equips me with the tools to make informed decisions and lead our community towards a brighter future.

My inspiration comes from my Pop, who has always encouraged me to work hard and fight for what I believe in. He himself was an active member of the Ku-Ring-Gai community and ran for council in 1980. I am proud to be following in his footsteps, carrying forward his legacy of dedication and passion for our community.

In addition to my professional and community endeavours, I have a deep love for performing music, playing football, and am an avid supporter of Liverpool FC (don't hold it against me!). These passions enrich my life and provide a balance to my professional and civic responsibilities.

My vision for Comenarra Ward is to empower our community by increasing engagement, supporting local businesses, enhancing community wellbeing, ensuring sustainable growth, and developing inclusive programs for all ages. I am committed to making Comenarra Ward a place where everyone can thrive, and I believe that together, we can achieve this goal. Growing up in Ku-Ring-Gai has instilled in me a deep appreciation for our community’s unique qualities. I am passionate about mental health, philanthropy, and sustainability, and I am dedicated to promoting these values throughout our ward. My goal is to create an environment where every resident feels valued, heard, and empowered.

I invite you to join me on this journey to create a brighter future for Comenarra Ward. Together, we can build a community that is strong, inclusive, and prosperous.
