Central 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 Central 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 am concerned by the lack of trust held by residents towards council and want to be part of making positive change through better communication.

About me

I am standing to ensure residents are strongly represented. While I have had support from many different members of our community, I am truly independent. I have never been politically aligned and know that this allows me to work with any government that you vote in. I am here to listen and work with our communities.

My priorities
  1. Deliver well maintained green spaces for people to connect, relax, and play.
  2. Make sure all decision making incorporates a climate action lens.
  3. Ensure residents money is spent smarter to achieve better long term results.
