I worked with Allison for many years whilst serving as Mayor of Clarence and found her to be a hardworking and highly effective advocate for the Eastern Shore. Allison makes well-informed, evidence-based decisions and is exactly what Pembroke needs. I am delighted to recommend Allison as a representative for our community.
Mr Doug Chipman – Lindisfarne
Clarence City Council Mayor 2011-2022
Allison is the hardest working person I know and it is a pleasure to support her election to the seat of Pembroke. She has been both an inspiration and a role model to me on Council and her commitment to our community is second to none. Allison has championed the rights of residents to have a say on what happens with local developments, better regulation of short-stay accommodation and led motions for Council to buy back Kangaroo Bay. A vote for Allison is a great investment for the future of Pembroke.
Councillor Emma Goyne – Clarence City Council
Allison is a dedicated and hardworking professional that has played a vital leadership role in the success of PCYC operations and the development of youth programs. Her exceptional level of experience is only matched by care and dedication for the local community. Allison is the best candidate for Pembroke and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Mr Scott Wade
State Manager – PCYC Tasmania
I first met Allison 17 years ago as we teamed up to establish a new public outdoor exercise area in Bellerive. She also successfully lobbied to keep from sale a green-space area that became the Warrane Community Garden. Allison strives for improved passive and active recreational amenities and invites community input. I will continue to offer Allison Richie my support because the eastern shore needs her.
Brian Chapman, Retired Recreation Consultant
Bellerive
Allison is approachable and has delivered time and time again for so many people on the Eastern Shore. She is committed to improving the lives of others and does what she says she will. Allison lobbied to ensure the Eastern Shore Medical Centre was not closed and that Charles Hand Park is protected from inappropriate housing development. Without reservation, Allison is my number 1 choice for Pembroke.
Alana Richardson – Geilston Bay
During my time as a Commander with Tasmania Police, I also saw first-hand the genuine assistance Allison provided to so many individuals and community groups on the Eastern Shore and across Tasmania.
Allison is a very experienced community leader that genuinely listens and gets results.
Allison played a vital role in working to protect children in Tasmania and has tirelessly advocated for systemic and judicial change and improved safeguards to better protect children.
Allison is a fine advocate and has proven to be a courageous and independent thinker that always puts people before politics.

Lindisfarne
Boxing Tasmania simply would not exist in its current form without the incredible volunteer efforts of Allison Ritchie over many years. Allison is the first person to be inducted in the Boxing Tasmania Honour Roll and worked assiduously to ensure our sporting organisation was able to thrive and provide a safe and well-regulated environment for children and adult athletes alike.
Solomon Hope – President of Boxing Tasmania
Allison is open and honest in her dealings and is an exceptionally hard-working local representative. I have found Allison to be an excellent advocate for others who gives generously of her time and is always willing to engage on any subject, no matter how big or small. The dog association I represent in Clarence has greatly appreciated Allison’s proactive efforts to improve access to areas where dogs may be exercised. She is the best candidate standing and I am supporting Allison 100% for Pembroke.

Allison was raised and educated on the Eastern Shore and her history of providing strong and effective representation for the local community means that she intimately understand the needs of the Pembroke community.
