Christchurch City Council

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.

  • Protect and invest in our libraries, pools and community facilities. Some of my colleagues have suggested privatising public libraries.

  • Reinstate and rework on a local alcohol policy that gives communities on more say where off-license premises are located.

    Look at options for a animal park and an adult in the CDB and around Christchurch.

  • Continue to support youth events and initiatives to ensure we are positively investing in the wellbeing of our next generation.

    Deliver well maintained green spaces for people to connect, relax, and play. It would be great to have a dedicated central city dog park.
