Mr Docker, who has served as Cowra Rotary Club President for the past 18 months and is an active member of the Cowra Business Chamber, said he would like to see some fresh faces on council.
"I thought we needed to have a few changes with younger people,' he said.
"I actually think the council has been doing very well... I just saw an opportunity there.
"Councillors are getting older, you're not going to learn everything overnight so you've got to have people coming through."
Along with local business and tourism, Mr Docker said he is also committed to seeing increased safety and security in Cowra, as well as improving council's online presence.
"That's one of my big things is promoting the local businesses that are already here and trying to attract businesses from out of town, which will increase the employment in Cowra," he said.
"I also really want to try and see if we can do something with security cameras around town, especially up at the Peace Precinct and in the main street.
"I'd actually like to see the council get more involved with the social media side.
"Reading the paper is good but I would think that 70 per cent of the town look at social media before they look at the paper."
Mr Docker said a number of candidates have been advocating for new ways to enhance tourism and events, however says costs must be taken into consideration.
"There are other people saying they want to do all these different things, they all cost money, and if it costs money, that means our rates go up," he said.
"I don't want that but with the Pavilion and the Showground Trust, I've got 500 Rotarians coming into Cowra in 2023, they'll be here for a week, it's good for the economy.
"If we can do things like that, they don't cost money and they make the town money.
"A lot of things that some of the candidates have already talked about, there are [already] plans in the council... If you go overboard, it costs money."
Mr Docker said his Rotary and Business Chamber experience has set him up well for candidacy and believes council could do more for community groups.
"I do want to see, and I don't know if it's possible, whether council can help groups like the Cowra Region Suicide Awareness Group," he said.
"They are doing a fantastic job."
Mr Docker also said personal politics plays no part in local council.
"I am part of the National Party, that is my personal belief," he said.
"I've had discussions with certain councillors. I don't belief politics has any place in council but you're still allowed to have your own beliefs."
