Tasman District Council

Richmond 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). Four councillors will be elected from the Richmond 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 decided to run for council as I care deeply about representation and democracy. I put my name forward because I wanted to ensure that I could represent other people in my demographic that will be affected by the decisions made today.

About me

I am inspired by people, thriving communities and the natural world. I'm guided by intergenerational decision making and servant leadership.

My priorities
  1. Housing.
  2. Improve State Highway 6 to improve the productivity of our local economy.
  3. Support and resource groups and organisations that strengthen our community resilience.
