Wellington City Council

The Wellington City 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 15 councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the city). Three councillors will be elected from the Motukairangi/Eastern ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing

Like most Wellingtonians, I don't believe Wellington is living up to its full potential. That is why I have decided to stand for change and get Wellington back on track. I was helped to this decision by people that know me as some one who gets things done and support me running.

About me

I have proven business experience, school board experience, as well as experience as chairman of a body corporate. I get things done and quickly and efficiently, particularly experienced with doing more with less.

My priorities

  1. Fix our ageing infrastructure. We need to fix and future proof the infrastructure before we can grow.
  2. Keep rates under control. We need to do more with less and ensure we are getting value for money.
  3. The community voice is important. The consultation needs be followed listening to communities.
