Taupō District Council
Duncan Campbell
Duncan Campbell
Why I'm standing
I believe the incumbent politicians have not properly kept the council in check, in part because they do not have the some of the requisite expertise. I am a self-employed civil engineer by trade who specialises in transportation, and have had around a decade experience in local government. I want to bring some critical thinking to the table which has to date been in large part missing.
About me
I have run my own business since 2015, and moved to Taupō from West Auckland in 2016. I have connections to local churches including Taupō Baptist and Church 109, and have previously led small youth and adult group meetings. I am a team player who is a previous territorial soldier and bass guitarist in a church band.
My priorities
- More closely supervise infrastructure expenditure and keep rates down with smarter decision making.
- Introduce evening council meetings so that members of the public can better have their input.
- Support the introduction of new industries especially non-tourism based to employ young people.
