Mayor Sophie Wade — Nicholls Ward councillor, Yarra City Council
Sophie has lived in and around Yarra for most of her life — from her days crossing the Darebin Creek to primary school in Alphington, to socialising at cafes and bars in Fitzroy as a young adult, to playing netball in Clifton Hill. Before her election to Council, Sophie worked as a competition and consumer lawyer at an international firm, working mainly for regulators.

With over 20 years of experience, Siu Chan has played a critical role in shaping the cultural life of Yarra and has championed the arts as an everyday experience. Siu has driven many innovative City of Yarra initiatives in support of the creative sector in a changing city.

In 2020. with Fitzroy stamped on both his birth certificate and driver licence, PK established People of Gertrude Street to celebrate and strengthen the Gertrude Street community and to bring people and businesses together.
