Christchurch City Council

Innes 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 Innes 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

To bring back genuine, authentic public representation. To ensure Christchurch has officials in office that actually 'Hear and Care' and do. To make Christchurch the envy of every New Zealand city. To see Christchurch return to being a 'happy healthy thriving and free' city.

About me

I have a heart and mind for the people. I genuinely 'hear and care'. I have a professional and vocational history working with people from all walks of life and status in their most distressing times. I believe in the intrinsic value of every Cantabrian. I am values-based and hold integrity, transparency, compassion, and accountability as essentials. I believe that we TOGETHER as a community hold the answers to the issues we face.

My priorities
  1. Weekly public meetings with the Mayor. Monthly for all councillors, for genuine public consultation.
  2. Build the hospital car park. Care for those who care for us and reduce distress for users.
  3. Stop Three Waters to protect local democracy and halt the divisive race-based policy.
