Kāpiti Coast District Council
The Kāpiti Coast District 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 10 councillors and the mayor. This election is for the three councillors elected by all voters in the district. The other councillors will be elected to represent wards (areas in the district).

Why I'm standing
I have a wide range of skills and experience, particularly in strategy, leadership and governance that will provide strength to council. I believe that the council should be operating more strategically with a long term vision and a commitment to making things happen. Council needs to encourage and support progress, innovation and creativity rather than put bureaucratic road blocks in the way. I will do my best to address these issues.
About me
I have been a Kāpiti resident for over twenty years and have made extensive community connections in that time. I am an active Rotarian, former Chair of the Chamber of Commerce, founding Chair of Kāpiti Economic Development Association (KEDA) and Trustee of Creative Kāpiti Charitable Trust. For nine years I was the Deputy Chair of Nikau Foundation. I am a successful business woman and have a reputation for integrity and trustworthiness.
My priorities
- Invest in economic development to create local jobs and a vibrant local economy
- Create a customer-focused culture within Kāpiti Coast District Council, particularly in the regulatory area.
- Take steps to address climate change by creating a sense of urgency and educating people.
