Invercargill City Council

The Invercargill City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 12 councillors and the mayor. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Invercargill City Council election.

Why I'm standing

I offer the voters a mixture of skills and knowledge and am not happy about the way things are being done at present.

About me

I am a problem solver, a facilitator and above all a team player. The council needs to function as a team.

My priorities
  1. To have the Invercargill City Council function as a team to better serve the needs of the people.
  2. To promote action in areas left in limbo and to adopt strategies for forseeable problems.
  3. To bring some common sense to the whole area which behaves at times like a circus.
