Cambridge Community Board
The Cambridge Community Board represents your local community and advocates to Waipa District Council about local issues, including public transport and facilities such as libraries and parks. The board is made up of seven members: five members elected by voters, including four members from your area, and two councillors from the Waipa District council. 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 Cambridge Community Board election.

Why I'm standing
I believe Cambridge is a great place to live, work and raise a family and I want to ensure it stays that way. We face many challenges with growth and government reform, but we can work together to retain the character and charm that makes Cambridge what it is.
About me
I grew up in Cambridge, went to school here and would like to continue to be an advocate and representative for our wonderful town. With a solid work ethic and history of community involvement, I'm a hands-on person who likes to get things done. I have experience in local business and event management (I am currently chair of the Cambridge Autumn Festival Trust), as well as a passion for our people and natural environment.
My priorities
- Improving connections between the community, community board, and council.
- Making a new Cambridge library and community hub a priority.
- Ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with development and the cost burden is spread.
