Why I'm standing

My desire is to help create prosperous, vibrant, empowered communities and shape local government at a time when local government is facing the biggest legislative changes since the amalgamations of 1989. Our people are hurting and facing increasing deprivation in a world that is facing major challenges. Effectively local government and local people collectively working together is essential to meet these challenges if we are to thrive.

About me

I'm born in the north, have served nine years as a senior councillor, have an extensive background in science and technology. I have a heart for people and have been actively involved in business, training, and charitable projects in the Far North; also thirty years plus experience in a large corporate. I am a proven strategic and innovative thinker and have the motivation, skills, and time to help enhance local government that works for communities.

My priorities
  1. Self-governing thriving communities. This is key to creating sustainable and resilient communities.
  2. Improved governance and planning. Good governance reduces risk and costs and enhances performance.
  3. Revitalise local government, support community boards and extend their delegations.
