Rohan Fisher has lived in the Warringah Area his whole life (Killarney Heights, Nth Curl Curl, Beacon Hill and now Narrabeen).
Rohan is President of the South Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club, a position he has proudly served in for more than two years.

Under Rohan's leadership, South Narrabeen achieved the title of "most improved club" for season 2011/2012.
One of the highlights of every season at South Narrabeen is hosting a group of Aboriginal kids from the town of Brewarrina in the Far West of NSW. Fifty kids who have never seen the ocean before spend an entire week at the club, making new friends and learning new skills and the smiles on their faces tell a thousand words. Rohan is also heavily involved with the Dee Why Lions Rugby Club as a player in the subbies team and also a coach of the opens age group. Rohan is passionate about the local area and will work hard to ensure the community is well represented on Council.
