Why I'm standing

I am standing as I am seeing the loss of personal autonomy over land, water rights and what we can or cannot do on our properties. The rising cost of rates without much benefits to the ratepayers. I have young children and want to ensure that they have freedom. I stand for family, community, choice, and freedom.

About me

My professional background is large-scale strategic infrastructure projects and programmes of work within the government and private sectors. I have chaired community housing boards and assisted with developing guidelines and policies.

My priorities
  1. Reject Three Waters as it is currently being proposed.
  2. Speak up against the expansion of Significant Natural Areas and Outstanding Natural Landscape.
  3. Be more transparent with the general public on what is happening at the council level.
