Why I'm standing
My first term in local government was during very strange times. It brought us closer together as a community, and I feel I have more to offer now that things are opening up and we can have more participation in all sectors. I feel we can both protect and enhance our natural assets and make the West Harbour an even more fun and exciting place to live, work and visit.
About me
I have lived in the West Harbour for 22 years, raising my family here and am passionate about using my creativity, positivity and practicality to help make a difference. I want to support local and help build a better future for us and future generations. I'm great at working with others, and people are my main focus – how can we make life better, foster connectedness and promote happiness.
My priorities
- Rezone Otago Regional Council owned empty sections on Observation Point. We need people living there.
- Enhance our existing parks with fences, food growing and grow fruit trees, veg, along the shared path.
- Support restoration of our heritage buildings.
