The Otago Regional Council makes decisions about managing resources in the region, such as air, water, soil and the coastline. It also carries out plant and pest control, helps prepare for natural disasters, and is involved in regional transport. The council is made up of 11 councillors. Councillors are elected to represent constituencies (areas in the region). Six councillors will be elected from the Dunedin constituency. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

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.
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.
