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 one member 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 am so fortunate to live in the beautiful Te Miro and worry about urban sprawl ruining our amazing countryside.
About me
What has prepared me for a position on the Cambridge Community Board? I currently work with Cambridge Community House as Violence Free Waipā, am the current board chair of the Cambridge Charities CCOSS. These roles allow me to have my thumb on the pulse of the community I hope to represent.
My priorities
- Listen to many of the challenges currently faced by the rural sector so I can support you.
- Implement slower speed zones around rural schools
- Lessen the financial burden carried by our farmers. Example paying for sewerage we don't use.
