Auckland Council

Waitematā and Gulf 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

Sleep is a basic need; lack of sleep harms people; reduces economic productivity. I brought post-2020 Alert Level 4 security matters, eg noise, thefts, bullethole, aggravated robberies – to our MP on behalf of my body corporate and neighbourhood store last year, and was unsatisfied. I know that the two instances of suicide in the city centre that I know of won't be the last, but I will make sure our wellbeing is not neglected solely from being unheard.

About me

I'm from Palmy, been here for 10 years in a CBD apartment. The transient city centre population is a challenge. I will man it like any club committee or software project, with succession planning always in mind, and be a kaitiaki of the role and identities I represent. I've served time in community organisations – body corporate, Mensa, uni clubs, sport. I believe meeting basic needs would reduce the matters keeping people up at night.

My priorities
  1. Facilitate better coordination of council and body corporates and police regarding noise control, security footage.
  2. Reserve proportionate amount of basic needs, eg community spaces, security, in high-density areas.
  3. Prioritising long-term maintenance plans and capital investment, in public transport and services.
