Auckland Council

North Shore 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). Two councillors 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

Current councillors have taken their eye off the ball and need to be replaced.

About me

I am experienced and will work to sort out the finances of the Auckland Council.

My priorities
  1. Law and Order: advocate strongly to central government for more police out on the streets.
  2. Reduce the cost of running Auckland Council: the increased costs are outrageous and need reducing.
  3. Public transport is costing far too much and needs more people riding the buses, trains and ferries.
Current role

Devonport-Takapūna Local Board member.

Before politics

Police area commander - North Shore
