Selwyn District Council
The Selwyn District 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 district). Two councillors will be elected from the Malvern ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
My approach is simple. I stand for a way forward, that everyone's views are valid, and to see that everything sits right in our communities.
About me
I think conceptually yet am detailed and persevere, and use common sense, fairness, patience, compassion and action. My senior legal secretarial background has shown me the struggles within families, businesses and on the farm. I have worked in large New Zealand-wide companies, taken minutes at board meetings, and been Johnny-on-the-spot. Perseverance is definitely a trait, along with thoroughness. I am who you see – straight up, honest, and a loyal Kiwi through and through.
My priorities
- Influence a north/south option for the Rolleston flyover to keep cohesion in the community.
- Say no to Three Waters.
- Advocate for basic services for Malvern's local communities.
