Tasman District Council

Moutere-Waimea Ward
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. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Tasman District Council election.

Why I'm standing

I have made a recent change of career and council seems like a good place to use some of the skills I have learned over my 40 years in education. In other ways it is a continuation of my desire to serve the community.

About me

My skills in the areas of communication and strategic planning added to my 30 odd years in the region will enable me to make solid representation.

My priorities
  1. Protection of local democracy.
  2. Ensuring that local voices are the ones which are heard and guide council actions.
  3. Ensuring the local environment is protected to maintain local lifestyle traditions.
