Implement a ten-year capital upgrade programme for playgrounds, libraries, and community and recreational facilities across the city.
Look for opportunities to bring work in-house and to reduce contracting out, to improve services for Wellingtonians.
Support national arts organisations to remain based in Wellington.
Remove weekend and evening parking charges to encourage people back in to the city.
Engage with the business and tourism industries and use their knowledge to advance our city's profile.
Make the streets safer in the inner city to encourage people into the city. A police base in Courtenay place. No rough sleepers and beggars.
Focus on cost reductions. Residential and commercial rates have skyrocketed; this will make our city unaffordable.
Deliver core services – water infrastructure is my top priority. Council's focus must be on essentials before bright and shiny new projects.
Develop tourism based on a theme of 'Wellington – The Capital', showcasing history and our unique attractions. Every New Zealander should visit.
Work with local providers on a strategy to support and improve the reputation of Wellington as a great city for events and festivals.
Ensure the infrastructure is in place to support business, including a focus on improving our pipes, bus services and affordable housing.
Consider support for repair and repurpose hubs that can provide entry level jobs and also keep useful materials out of landfill.
Pay all council workers and contractors a liveable wage to support the local economy.
Use council's considerable procurement power to buy local and support local service providers.
Plan to support ease of living locally with many services and jobs available in every area (the 15 minute neighbourhood approach).
Increase the CBD retail customer base by allowing more housing and businesses to be built within the city centre and inner suburbs.
Reduce the 'brain drain' of productive professionals and skilled workers from Wellington by increasing housing affordability.
Open a medium-sized performing arts venue, filling a significant gap for touring music performances and Wellington's art scene.
Support businesses to become Living Wage accredited, so that Wellington can be the first Living Wage city in the world.
Support greater use of green or sustainability bonds to help fund infrastructure, public transport and public housing.
Expand on Chaffers Farmers' market to free residents from dependancy on the supermarket duopoly.
Create spaces for residents to innovate and engage with each other without necessitating top-down direction and dictates.
