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 Wharangi/Onslow-Western ward. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing
I believe Wellington needs a council that can work together to make well-informed, positive decisions to ensure the city is a great place to live in and work – both today and tomorrow. We need a council with people who are capable of working together, and who will listen to other perspectives around the table and from the community. My track record shows I have the experience and qualities to be an informed, positive voice.
About me
Few people have my track record of service to Wellington. With nearly 30 years of governance of a range of community organisations, my commitment to service is self-evident. I have a deep understanding of grassroots needs and interests. I worked closely and collaboratively in all my voluntary roles. People know I get things done. My experience and personal qualities make me ideal to be a councillor. I bring an informed, positive voice.
