Kylee Matthews
Deputy Chair Waiheke Local Board
Why I'm standing
My aspiration for our community is one that is independent, engaged and politically savvy. I have compassion and empathy for Waiheke, we are constantly in threat of being taken over as another suburb of Auckland. I have a strong work ethic and community connection and I make it my service to listen and problem solve, build relationships and I have active listening skills as well as common sense and initiative.
About me
I am an active member of our community, I have lived and worked on the island for the past ten years. I am visible and approachable and can help with access to services on the island having lived experiences. I have been working on building community resilience through various social and professional connections. I am currently the chair of Homegrown Waiheke and working on building food resilience on the island.
My priorities
- Support our young people and their movement as community organisers and political activists.
- Wetland restoration and protection is vital for understanding their action as carbon sinks.
- Advocate unused council land to grow food, build infrastructure process food waste to compost.
