Discourage new alcohol off-premises licenses and reduce pokie outlets.
Encourage and support recreational facilities and events in rural and small communities.

Develop and regenerate our parks and public spaces, and providing more quality open spaces that a wide range of people can use and enjoy.
Take a measured approach to developing the multi-sport facility; do not invest more than is required to meet the future community need.

Relocate the intended multi-sport hub to future-proof it.

I support the Tūparikino Active Community Hub as an inter-generational well-being facility. New Plymouth District Council should cap our contribution at $40 million.

Commit to reducing gambling and liquor licensing facilities within our electorate, or to bring in community consultation for these to exist.
Commit to making sure that all facilities are available first before new ones are built. We have a large number of unused facilities.
Multi sports hub expenditure must be capped, and any overruns are the responsibility of future users. Caution needed now exploding costs abound.
Actively recruit and bring back international acts to The Bowl and TSB stadium. Time to come out of our COVID-19 induced shells. The world's open.
Support LLC to become more independent in operating needs in the long term and make more kinetic artwork visible in other public spaces.
Many halls are not up to standard and are expensive causing them to be under utilised. Let's fix them and make them affordable!
I think the multipurpose sport club is a great initiative however there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed first.
