Wellington City Council

Complete the city-wide review of community facilities so we can plan and prioritise investment in high growth areas.

Support the continued activation of the central city through events and activities that encourage people to visit, eat, and shop.

Deliver upgrades of the Tawa skate park, Grenada North sports fields, Grenada Village play area, and review of Johnsonville's green spaces.

Work with community boards in the Northern suburb to promote use of parks and open spaces for young people playing sports.

Initiate food security initiatives that enable access to healthy food.

Open a medium-sized performing arts venue, filling a significant gap for touring music performances and Wellington's art scene.

Collaborate with local community on urban public spaces that prioritise walkability, accessibility, community-building, and greenery.

Enhance support for local markets, community gardens, and festivals that encourage community well-being and celebration of diversity.

Reallocate motor vehicle parking to secure bike parking to encourage more travel to public areas, especially those without vehicles.

Add restrictions to liquor licensing to advertising and sales to slow the purchase of alcohol.

Subsidise the use of alternate payment methods for buskers and other community events to help the transition away from cash.

More funding for sporting clubs. Rent of many sporting clubs is quite high to afford. Many clubs are struggling with cost of maintenance.

Reduce liquor licences. Our young generation is getting a very wrong message when sports personalities endorse it.

Council-maintained parks need more funding. Community members should feel safe around parks.

Assist strengthening community bonds (churches, marae, clubs) to reduce barriers to entry, encouraging creation of cultural community events..

Revitalise the concept of equality of opportunity of all races, ethnicities and cultures in organisations within the council's jurisdiction.

Facilitate in conjunction with sports associations and clubs, unique, thoughtful progression pathways to retain and develop promising people.

Upgrade public facilities to meet the growing communities' needs, such as expanding community centres.

Reduce fees on sporting facilities to make sure they are accessible to wider communities.

Provide more affordable venues for community events.

I fully support improving public facilities like parks, pools, museums, libraries and community halls.

I am an active arts supporter having chaired two entities Inverlochy Arts School and BATS Theatre. The arts grow and promote Wellington.

We need more community events like festivals. I run community markets including the Christmas Market in Johnsonville every year.

Expand discounts available to the LeisureCard.

Work with clubs, schools and sporting organisations so that every child in a low-income family can play sport.

Implement Aho Tini 2030 action plan so Wellingtonians can enjoy more access to arts and cultural experiences.

Prioritise the completion of green space and public facility reviews for areas planned to have high-density housing in the near future.

Both Tawa and Churton Park have grown significantly, and so their community centres need to be reviewed to make them adequate for the future.

Continue and, if possible, expand council support for sports and recreation. Invest in facilities in line with ongoing population growth.
