Ann Court
Deputy Mayor Far North District
Why I'm standing
I have over 20 years experience in local government. The Far North can punch above its weight. We need to stop playing the victim and put our best foot forward if we want to excel. That means collectively working on what we need, what we want, how to get there in a united way and then march forth. I believe I can build a frame work to deliver that
About me
I have been elected since 1996, holding every role other than mayor. I held a position on the Trust of Top Energy for two decades during which time we developed the Ngawha Geothermal Field. I have been the chairperson of the business association, soccer coach (not a great one but I gave it my best) I have been a volunteer driver for Saint Johns. I have been a director for Consumer New Zealand.
My priorities
- Transport. In every way shape and form. We need to build connections and resilience for our people.
- Three water compliance. For too long this has fallen into the too hard too expensive basket.
- Getting elected members out of the office into the field to understand what frustrates the customer.
