Councillor Sally Halliday has called Maitland home since 1998, after growing up across NSW and Asia. As a single mother, she has raised her two sons here and built strong connections to the community, which runs deep in her family history. Her ancestors operated Maitland’s first picture theatre, and her great grandfather represented Maitland in the NSW State Legislative Assembly.

Sally is an active member of many local community and charity organisations, including the East Maitland Lions Club, the Maitland and District Historical Society, as well as local sporting organisations. She is dedicated to helping people and projects reach their full potential, with a keen interest in preserving Maitland’s history and supporting the creation of a historical community centre.

With a focus on community service, Sally believes in making decisions for the benefit of the majority and is not afraid to take a stand when needed.

'Being a councillor is an honour and a way to contribute to making Maitland an even better place.'

Variety and diversity are the things Sally loves the most about Maitland. It has everything you need in a city, from sports and facilities to education, retail, business, community groups and employment.
