Why I'm standing

My heart is here, I am here to help and give a pragmatic voice to the community. People call me because they know I am someone that can make things happen. I am passionate about this district and want to make it to be the best place to live, work and play.

About me

I have owned my own business that exports around the world and I will prioritise spending and get the best bang for rate payers. Balancing residents expectations with balancing the books is always going to be an issue.

My priorities
  1. Ratepayers they/we are not an endless source of money.
  2. Support connected, safer, friendly and more resilient communities.
  3. Want district growth, more iconic events, vibrant place to live, attractive to commercial operators.
