Why I'm standing

I am concerned with the lack of timely decision making in our council.

About me

I bring to local governance a life spent of making decisions I know how to make a difference and a solution not a pass. I have had a career in the military and as a disaster relief manager in the South Pacific, I have also studied got qualifications MPHIL from Massey/Certs in Organic Farming and environmental management from Lincoln BHU.

My priorities
  1. Introduce a policy to allow dogs on buses.
  2. Fast track water infrastructure upgrades so nasty tasting chemicals can be removed from our water.
  3. Increase support to regeneration of native forestry plans.
