  • Champion a climate-friendly economy that supports local business, provides meaningful work, and pays living wages.

    Promote and facilitate green jobs and training, especially for rangatahi/youth, eg reforesting regional parks and expanding predator trapping.

    Involve the community and community groups directly in local economic planning and mapping, including infrastructural projects.

  • Support more mixed-use developments and champion implementing the 15 neighbourhood urban planning concept in our cities.

    Procure as many services as possible from NZ-owned businesses. I want to make sure Hutt businesses deliver Hutt projects and services.

    Work collaboratively with other agencies and the private sector to support the rollout of the WellingtonNZ Economic Development Plan.
