Auckland Council

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Ward
The Auckland Council makes strategic decisions for Auckland on public transport, urban planning, environmental protection and other big issues. The council provides funding to local boards to provide public services in their areas, and manages council-controlled organisations which provide infrastructure, such as public transport, water and sewerage. The councillors and mayor make up the governing body, which shares governance of Auckland Council with the 21 local boards. The governing body is made up of 20 councillors plus the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in Auckland). One councillor will be elected from your ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Auckland Council election.

Why I'm standing

I wish to improve the quality of governance for this – the biggest business in the region. The ratepayers deserve better and I have the commercial skills to help in the process.

About me

I have a doctorate in corporate governance. I am an experienced executive, director and chair of both business and not for profit organisations. I bring those skills with a real feel for people – the customer ratepayers.

My priorities
  1. Balance the budget
  2. Rethink the structure and work of council to fit ratepayer needs.
  3. Deal to efficient public transport.
