Timaru District Council

Timaru Ward
The Timaru 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 nine councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Six councillors will be elected from the Timaru 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

The council needs open, robust debate and I am not afraid to take an opposing view or ask the hard questions if it leads to better decision-making. The council also needs to focus on delivery, from major projects through to the processing of consents. We need to be a vibrant district for new businesses and people so the local economy grows to benefit everyone.

About me

As a former journalist, I am used to asking the hard questions around the council table for the benefit of the community. I also want to make the district a vibrant place to live so the council needs to focus on getting things done.
