Nick Berman was born and educated in the northern suburbs of Sydney, and has lived here most of his life.

Nick has a Commerce degree majoring in Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management. He has worked in all levels of government and currently runs a registered training organisation based in Sydney.

Nick played cricket in the Grade and Shires competitions for over 20 years and still plays the odd game of tennis in the local competition when time allows.

Nick and his wife Christine chose to live in Hornsby because of the quality of life the Bushland Shire offers local families.

As a B Ward councillor between 1999 and 2004, and Deputy Mayor between 2002 and 2004, Nick Berman played an active role in supporting Council's widening of the Duffy Avenue Bridge and as a member of the Dartford Road Working Party helped drive the construction of the Thornleigh Indoor Sports Centre.

He has also served as the Chair of the Hornsby Mall Committee and the Hornsby CBD Steering Committee. As a Member of Hornsby's Olympic Torch Relay Committee he helped organise the community celebrations that took place when the Torch visited Pennant Hills Park - arguably the biggest event the Bushland Shire has seen.

Initiatives that Nick Berman is committed to in the next term of council include:

· Water recycling for the Shire's parks & playing fields
· New child care centres for Cherrybrook and Asquith
· A multi-purpose civic centre for Hornsby
· A new fire control centre for the Hornsby Shire
