Why I'm standing
There is much now known about how to make cities and neighbourhoods great places to live in, and it isn't about having maximum convenience. Christchurch is a major New Zealand city and is growing rapidly, without using the above knowledge, the city could become a difficult and unpleasant place to live in. So my passion is to ensure that as the city changes, it changes for the better. It's about smart growth.
About me
I am a scientist by training who also studied economics. For many years I was a business development manager in a Crown Research Institute, using research programs to help food businesses get into exporting. I went on overseas trade missions and represented NZ on a trade-governing body. My wish now is to use my skills to help our city become a fabulous place to live in. I have been doing that for two terms already.
My priorities
- Protect and restore the Ihutai Estuary and the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River for our enjoyment of nature.
- Create more enjoyable recreational spaces and village centres within our suburbs for everyone.
- Complete the Christchurch Coastal Pathway – It will be such an important asset when finished.
