Why I'm standing
I want Hamilton to be the best city to work, live, play and raise a family in. I am worried we are borrowing too much and that ratepayers are struggling to pay their rates bill. I opposed Three Water reforms. I believe Three Waters can't go ahead without a mandate – through a referendum – from the whole community. I bring over 30 years of business experience to this role and a passionate community spirit.
About me
In addition to being the founder of Kiwi International Airlines, I have 26 years of business experience. I have over 16 years of Governance experience including being a Resource Management Act Commissioner. I completed the General Management programme at the University of Cambridge in 2018. I have a passion for economic development and how local government plays a critical role in its success. I'm a businessman with a strong sense of community.
My priorities
- Attract companies that fit our growth strategy in the tech, logistics, manufacturing and agri-tech industries.
- Deploy the $50 Million Municipal Endowment fund as economic enabler through public/private projects.
- Stop the current Three Waters reform. I believe Three Waters can't go ahead without a referendum.
