Christchurch City Council

Cashmere Ward
The Christchurch City 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 16 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). One councillor will be elected from the Cashmere 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'm running to invest in communities, infrastructure and our future. We need strong voices that know how to deliver on their values, and we need fresh ideas at the council table.

About me

I have experience as a community board member delivering on my values: safer speeds in Beckenham, a permanent site for the South Christchurch Farmers Market, intersection and crossing upgrades across South Christchurch. I have the skills and values to represent Cashmere, and as a local resident I'm passionate about our community.

My priorities
  1. Delivering on environmental regeneration across the О̄pāwaho and Port Hills.
  2. Delivering on mass rapid transit, including a light rail network to unlock jobs and housing.
  3. Being a prudent steward of council finances and resources to invest in our future.
