Why I'm standing
Auckland Council is in crisis and an urgent change in direction and strategy is needed now. I feel that the needs of our community are not being met, and we have been left behind compared to the rest of Auckland. I intend the bring the spotlight back the Albany Ward area and will champion the needs of our community in the Town Hall.
About me
I have led the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board as Deputy Chair emphasising transparency, accountability and action. Prior, I spent six years advocating to council and central government for our residents as electorate agent for MP's Hon Murray McCully then Erica Stanford. I'm a volunteer trustee for Life Education North Shore, member of the Institute of Directors, executive member of a local business association and an active volunteer with many of our wonderful community organisations.
My priorities
- Infrastructure. Congestion is crippling our roading and sewage spews onto our beaches when it rains.
- Stricter accountability and oversight of Auckland Transport, Auckland Unlimited, Watercare and Panuku.
- Be a loud outspoken voice to ensure that areas in North Auckland are not forgotten and are heard.
