Why I'm standing
Albert-Eden has been my home for most of my life, and I care deeply about our community. As Chair of the Local Board, I believe Local Boards should put people before politics, focusing on practical, affordable solutions that last. I'd love the chance to keep building on what we've achieved together and to keep representing your voices.
About me
I bring strong people skills—listening, connecting, and building consensus on tough issues. As the only candidate seeking a third term, I offer valuable experience, insight, and relationships to get things done. With a background in the for-purpose sector, I'm prudent, practical, and skilled in managing people, resources, and tight budgets to deliver real results for our community.
My priorities
- Plan well neighbourhoods that protect heritage, provide green spaces and meet housing needs.
- Balance transport approach with sensible solutions for public transport, bikes, cars and parking.
- Keep rates as low as practicable while investing in long-term infrastructure guided by need.
