Central Otago District Council
The Central Otago District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 11 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). One councillor will be elected from the Teviot Valley 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.

Why I'm standing
I believe Central Otago is a great place to live and I want to be responsive to local conditions, particularly what we need to do to mitigate climate change risks. I want to ensure we have vibrant communities to support the local economy and visitors alike. I want to ensure we protect our district for future generations.
About me
I have previous experience in event management and bring these organisational skills to my work in the community. I am currently the chair of the new Roxburgh swimming build, a $3m project. I have been a member of the Teviot Valley Community Board for two terms and understand the working of council. I have added to the vibrancy of the main street of Roxburgh by restoring the old general store and running a new business.
My priorities
- Educate ratepayers to divert waste from landfill to meet our long-term sustainability goals.
- Work to fill empty shops to create a thriving retail sector and encourage more local spend.
- Promote mountain biking parks to encourage multiple cycling experiences from one place.
