Why I'm standing

I value a connected community that cares for all of its members – to support this I've been running Think Papanui for the past six years and have been a community board member for three. I am passionate about contributing to Papanui and am grateful for the opportunity for a second term on the community board.

About me

I am responsible and diligent, and I have a track record on the Community Board and in other governance roles. I have an eye for detail and enjoy working on strategy. An elected position in local government is the perfect way to bring these skills and values together.

My priorities
  1. Further increase community board communication and engagement with the local community.
  2. Provide travel options that reduce dependence on single-occupant fossil-fuelled vehicles.
  3. Support a functioning and safe traffic network, with a focus on growth areas in Papanui.
