Waipā District Council
The Waipā District Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 11 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). Two councillors will be elected from the Pirongia-Kakepuku General ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I'm passionate about Waipā District and care about what happens in our communities.
About me
I was born and raised in the Pirongia-Kakepuku Ward, and have lived in Pirongia Village for the last 27 years. I have a First Class Honours Degree in Business and have also been involved in lots of volunteer roles. I successfully led a community conservation group for Mt Pirongia for 20 years. I operate with integrity, respect and like to get into the detail of things. I have a fantastic track record on Council already.
My priorities
- Climate action.
- Seeking a better outcome for councils on the current Three Waters Reform proposal.
- Empowering our communities to be partners with council for an amazing future together.
