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.

Why I'm standing
I love this place we all call home, but I'm concerned we are falling behind our other districts, I firmly believe the time is now, for Selwyn to make changes to put us in good standing for the future. We have to make changes before our district grows, playing catch up provides a poor service to our current residents. Let's grow Selwyn together while keeping its rural vibe.
About me
I have lived in Malvern my whole life, I've watched it grow and expand, I can't think of any place better to raise my three boys. As an owner of a local building company, I understand the needs of large projects and I don't take this position lightly, I would ensure your vote counted! Goal orientated and result driven, I believe I've got the skills to get the job done.
My priorities
- Upgrade our roading network, too often I have witnessed collisions on our rural network.
- Keep Selwyn's assets in our resident's hands, cure the problems not the symptoms.
- Maintain transparency, integrity and the voice of Malvern in the chambers of Selwyn District.
