Why I'm standing
I'm running in this election as I'm a strong advocate for protection and restoration of our natural environment not only for Auckland but for our special taonga, the Hauraki Gulf. I believe in more 'green spaces' for us to enjoy plus we must continue the 'war on exotic pests' that are killing our native species. I acknowledge that climate change is real and we must take steps to protect our City for future generations.
About me
I have sailed the Hauraki Gulf for 50 years and have seen a dramatic decline in fish stocks, reef systems and an increase in sedimentation. I chaired the GIFT committee at Foundation North where we gave out 11 million dollars for research and restoration to the Hauraki Gulf. I Chair the Opito Bay Ratepayers Assoc. We convinced the Government to protect 500,000 Ha of the Gulf from scallop harvesting until stocks recover.
My priorities
- We need to revitalise the city centre. Attract people back to make the city centre more vibrant.
- Create a safe environment for citizens to enjoy the inner city.
- Ensure Auckland City becomes a 'beacon' for environmental sustainability for all its citizens.
