Why I'm standing

I am rural ward councillor with knowledge and experience in that area. I am passionate to preserve our open spaces.

About me

Due to experience, I am well know in all my communities. Because Kakepuku is now included I will do my best to represent that area and their concerns.

My priorities
  1. Ensure our rural spread is restricted to planned developments.
  2. Keep control on rates. I am fully aware the rural sector pays significant property rates.
  3. To provide an experienced rural voice around the council table.
