Wairoa has unique needs and assets. My focus will be on strong governance that brings sustainability to our district. Sustainable practices that enhance businesses, enhance communities and individuals, that ensure we are able to take pride in our practices and our ability to safeguard our home both now and in the future. I commit to listening to and share our wealth of knowledge and use this to influence council decision-making.
