Tasman District Council
The Tasman District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also passes local regulations and makes decisions about infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage, and about the region’s resources, including water, soil and the coastline. The council is made up of 13 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Three councillors will be elected from the Moutere-Waimea 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
Noble Aspiration – I have wanted to stand for council for some time and now have my life structured to support this. I am not running because I am particularly upset around council decisions and do not have an axe to grind.
About me
I know the district, am open minded, a team player, work well with diverse opinions, and enjoy human interactions. I am optimistic about the future of Tasman.
My priorities
- Ensure the sustainability of Tasman
- Preserve Tasman's natural wonder.
- Stop Tasman's catch phrase from being changed with every spring shower.
