Porirua City Council
The Porirua City 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. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). Five councillors will be elected from the Onepoto ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
To help prepare for a more demanding future by helping to improve current processes, planning, and thinking, and so the whole community benefits.
About me
Connection and understanding – I have experience with government and local councils through my extensive business management and advisory career, while also having political experience to draw from, which in turn enables me to see the complete picture while also helping others on the council and within our community improve and flourish.
My priorities
- Connecting our community – helping to give a voice to each corner of our ward and city.
- Spending – ensure council spending is well thought out, and that all opportunities have been assessed.
- Getting infrastructure right – smart spending where it is 'needed' to improve our way of life.
