Why I'm standing

I believe there needs to be more community, grassroots connection, and involvement in council decision making. Creating more authentic community engagement opportunities.

About me

I bring the ability to successfully create and cultivate strong community relationships across a range of demographics and cultures. I have recent experience doing exactly this in Dunedin last year.

My priorities
  1. Introduce opportunity for more public engagement with council, for example through better referendum.
  2. Introduce a process for the council to be accountable and transparent.
  3. Advocate for education opportunities on better and responsible recycling, reusing and reducing waste.
