| Councillor HBRC

Why I'm standing

Together, we can continue to have the right balance, ensuring your views, values and expectations of transparency and accountability are honoured. I will continue my unrelenting focus and drive on delivering more walkways, cycleways, planting, and cleaning up Te Karamū stream and of course, treasuring Te Mata Peak. I understand the need for the regional council to be in tune with your family, community, clean water, sustainable tourism, and business aspirations.

About me

We've made a good start, but there is much work yet to do. It's about balance, the right balance. Like you, I treasure our stunning environment. I walk the environmental and changing climate talk. It starts at my home – fencing streams, planting countless native trees, removing pests, creating a QEII conservation block and installing solar energy. As your councillor and former MP, I'm always Backing The Bay.

My priorities
  1. I will continue my unrelenting focus and drive on delivering more walkways and cycleways.
  2. I will continue my unrelenting focus and drive on planting, and cleaning up our Te Karamū stream.
  3. Like you, I treasure our stunning Te Mata Peak.
