Jenny Condie
Futureproof Wellington
| Wellington City Councillor for Takapū Northern Ward
Why I'm standing
I want to make a better future for all our kids, including mine. Covid is changing the way we live and the climate won't wait for a more convenient time. We must rise to these challenges with creative and practical ways to redesign our city and our neighbourhoods. Good infrastructure is the foundation for thriving communities. We need to look after the assets we've got and make responsible, climate-friendly investments that support growth.
About me
My skills in accounting and governance are needed in council more than ever. I asked the questions about depreciation that revealed council was not spending enough to replace aging pipes. I co-wrote the Mayoral Taskforce on Three Waters report. I have a PhD in accounting and entrepreneurship. I worked at the Treasury and taught at Victoria and Massey. I'm a member of the Institute of Directors and a certified Resource Management Act commissioner.
My priorities
- Invest in low carbon transport options to give people appealing alternatives to their car.
- Develop climate adaptation plans for council assets and vulnerable communities.
- Spend your rates dollars carefully, with quality analysis and close monitoring of project delivery.
