Gisborne District Council

Tairāwhiti Māori Ward

The Gisborne District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also passes local regulations and makes decisions about infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage, and about the region’s resources, including water, soil and the coastline. The council is made up of 13 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Five councillors will be elected from the Tairāwhiti 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 believe we live in one of the best places to live in the Tairaawhiti and I want to keep it that way.

About me

I am an uri of the iwi of TeTairaawhiti. I have lived and worked most of my life in our community. My community involvement was recognised by the community with "The Tairaawhiti man Of The Year Award " in 2017. In 2021 I was awarded by government with a national public service award.

My priorities

Eliminate homelessness in the Tairaawhiti to aid in reducing poverty and deprivation.
Fix the roads so we are all safe on them.
Provide free city parking to Gold Card holders.
