Why I'm standing

I love Waikanae and as the newest member to the board (Dec 2021), I would like to continue to raise the profile of the town. I believe we have a wonderful place that is being piece by piece changed to look like many other towns, I want to retain our character as much as we can and have experience doing that.

About me

I have been a long time resident of the area, and have a broad skill set at a national and local level of government and locally with NGOs. I have run the Waikanae Dance School since 2008 and was part of the committee that reignited the Easter and Labour Weekend Markets with responsibility for the entertainment. I love the natural environment and want to continue to protect it.

My priorities
  1. Open a fit for purpose Waikanae library.
  2. Commence works on upgrading Waikanae Park.
  3. Establish a community led waste management initiative.
