Wellington City Council

Takapū/Northern General Ward
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 Takapū/Northern ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Wellington City Council election.

Why I'm standing

I live in one of the best cities in the world and I have the right ideas to build a thriving community.

About me

I connect with people to engage, energise and empower the community. The last 14 years I've been working on various community initiatives, rolling up my sleeves and making sure I'm there when the community needs me.

My priorities
  1. Improving the infrastructure in flood-prone areas in Tawa and other neighbouring suburbs.
  2. Engage in harm reduction and crime prevention initiatives.
  3. Support community grants to improve wellbeing, and create opportunities for vulnerable groups.
