Nelson City Council

Stoke-Tāhunanui General Ward
The Nelson City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also passes local regulations and makes decisions about infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage, and about the region’s resources, including water, soil and the coastline. The council is made up of 12 councillors and the mayor. Four councillors will be elected from the Stoke-Tāhunanui General ward. The other councillors will be elected from other wards or by all voters in the district. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing

I want to be involved in making Nelson the best city it can be. In particular I would like to represent the interests of Stoke/Tahunanui in all council decisions.

About me

I am the chairperson of the board of trustees at Tahunanui School and run a local business in Stoke, while also being a resident of Stoke. I am part of the community on a residential, professional and governance level.

My priorities
  1. Ensure rates rises are avoided where possible.
  2. Commit to keep control of are local water infrastructure.
  3. Find solutions for traffic congestion issues in and out of central Nelson.
