Waikato Regional Council

Advocate for a more realistic contribution from central government to manage and maintain our regional flood protection infrastructure.

Ensure that where possible, council's work programmes are supporting local businesses, and providing job opportunities for Waikato people.

Maintain strong relationships with government to ensure Waikato projects are seen as a good investment for government funding support.

Advocate against council's funding of central government's big ticket responsibilities. I support local money going to core local projects.

Regional council's job is to manage water, air and land. That's what I support.

Work closely with our Regional Development Agency, Te Waka, and the and district councils to facilitate business growth and youth employment.

Ensure Waipā's needs in roading infrastructure, which is a key enabler for the economy, are promoted in the Regional Land Transport Plan.

Influence and encourage Waka Kotahi to provide greater maintenance provision for Waipā - King Country roading network.

Ensure sound workable decisions on water, land use and economic growth as the prosperity and well-being of our communities depends on council.
