Sophie Torney for Kew Skip navigation

 

Hi, I’m Sophie Torney, former Mayor of Boroondara, current Councillor and company director. I’m running for Kew to bring real-world experience from business, technology and public life to state parliament.

Kew has been home to my family for more than 27 years. It’s where my husband Tony and I have raised our three children, and where I’ve built deep local ties through years of service, leadership and volunteering.

Kew deserves more than slogans — it deserves practical leadership, transparent decision-making and strong representation backed by a proven track record.

Whether it’s helping save Kew Library from demolition and saving ratepayers $15 million, making my mayoral diary public — a first in Boroondara, or convening the Electrify Boroondara Expo, my public record is clear: I lead with integrity and deliver real results.

With your support, we can build a stronger future for Kew, protecting what makes our community special, standing up for local priorities, and demanding greater accountability in public life.
