Glenys Dickson
Councillor
Why I'm standing
As a second term councillor who has also worked in central government, I believe institutional knowledge is important to take council through the challenges of the next three years. Important documents like the Gore District Plan which I have been involved in as a councillor needs continuity and expertise to plan sustainably and sensibly for the next ten years. Other responsibilities I hold on council are Pioneer Women, Community Networks Trust and Sister City representations.
About me
I have various roles in the community which add value to my decision-making. A director of Gore Health Ltd, chair of Southern REAP (rural education), chair of Forest Hill Foundation (predator control), trustee of Waiau Fisheries and Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Trust and a trustee of a Wilding Pine Trust, volunteer at Gore Hospice. I worked as an electorate agent for seventeen years assisting constituents and have owned and operated a business.
My priorities
- Push policies on waste minimisation and recycling.
- Improve council's engagement with the community in decision-making.
- Raise issues on water quality, wastewater, and stormwater and work towards a more sustainable model.
