Policies

Support and actively advocate for an increase in the role of local government ensuring outcomes that support our area and our needs.

Encourage public engagement with the work that our local board does by supporting initiatives that increases engagement in local government.

Encourage cost effective and agile local board operations returning outcomes expected by rate payers without over spending.

Utilise online tools and social media apps, improving youth and public engagement by reaching more community members.

Represent diverse communities by supporting a wider range of diverse candidates and community groups.

Focus on solutions and practical outcomes that are based on community feedback and need.

Represent tangata whenua, Te Ao Māori, a Māori perspective and worldview.

Encourage, recognise and embrace diversity within our community.

Build strong and safe communities by improving community engagement.

Ensure the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi are a part of everyday working of the local board.

Develop Te Tiriti based relationship with Mana Whenua rather than having token consultation.

Ensure that the Issues of significance published by the Māori Statutory Board are understood and considered when making decisions.

Introduce within three months of election a direct contact technology that gives the community direct and visible access to their representative.

Committed to keeping local board focused on its basic deliverables as defined in law.

Delivering to the aspirations of the entire community through amenity available to all, no matter Māori, Pakeha or from elsewhere.

Audit council. Its spending and number of employees needs restructuring. Clean out the deadwood and make employees accountable.

Council with area the size of Auckland needs reforms to the management of the subdivisions. They are too diverse to be treated as one entity.

An open door policy is needed for council to engage successfully with the public. They are unapproachable and unyielding from my experience.
