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

I have decided to stand for election after receiving so many requests from concerned Aucklanders from across the political spectrum deeply worried at how the city is being managed and dismayed at the standard of representation in this ward.

About me

I stand on my personal track record of 30 years service to regional and local government, conservation and community.

My priorities

Open the books to ascertain how Auckland Council got itself into such an appalling financial state.
Stop the break-up of Auckland's regional parks network and maintain democratic governance of Hauraki Gulf.
Reverse Auckland Transport's retrenchment of rail services to Onehunga and Pukekohe, extend services to Huapai.
