Far North District Council
The Far North District 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 10 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Four councillors will be elected from the Ngā Tai o Tokerau Māori ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I am standing because I am concerned about the loss of our personal rights over land, water rights and what we can can and cannot do on our own properties. We are all equally effected by this, and I believe it is important for all people to have strong representation in these areas.
