Why I'm standing
We live in a time of significant environmental tension and opportunity. I want to be part of significant improvements with the new Regional Policy Statement, new Land and Water Regional Plan and an effective Otago Catchment Community implementation. We need to establish a sustainable environment for the future.
About me
I believe I have a track record as a successful, hardworking and effective councillor. Educated in engineering, project management and resource management, I believe I have skills to offer. I am prepared to collaborate without taking my eye off the key goal. A sustainable environment.
My priorities
- Support and promote improvements in river and lake water quality.
- Support and promote improvements in river minimum flows and water allocation.
- Support and promote improvements in biodiversity along river corridors and the region.
