Why I'm standing
I want to be a part of helping shape our future for the better. Seeing the decisions being made on important community issues, I feel that we need strong and positive representation on the board.
About me
I'm a current member on the Whau Local Board, former chair of the New Lynn Business Association, and property manager in my family's business spanning 3 generations in New Lynn. Through these roles, I spend a lot of time working with local employers, business owners and community groups to promote an active and vibrant town centre. I have been a community advocate to the local board on important issues such as safety, transport and development.
My priorities
- Advocate for the development of a multi-storey Park and Ride in New Lynn to help encourage mode shift.
- Support the retention of the aquatic and recreation centre in the Whau.
- Support initiatives that reduce air, water and land pollution, particularly around the Whau river.
