Why I'm standing
I want to see an end to missed opportunities that have cost Manurewa-Papakura millions in road and footpath upgrades. Central government and regional funding was available, yet not secured, leaving our communities reliant on modest discretionary transport budgets. I will fight to secure every dollar possible for our infrastructure needs; Waiata Shores to Wattle Downs footbridge, Ōpaheke Sports Park and the Puhinui Stream Regeneration Project. Time for change!
About me
I have extensive governance experience at the Local Board level, including as Board Chair. I understand budgets, financial management, and how decisions at the Governing Body level impact communities—both financially and in real outcomes. I have a track record of supporting community feedback, voting with residents, not against them. I am committed to listening to residents and serving with transparency and accountability.
My priorities
- Secure equitable regional funding, ending years of deferrals while central projects take priority.
- Commit to complete essential local projects like Ōpaheke Park and the Puhinui Stream Regeneration.
- Upgrade playgrounds and facilities in accordance with community priorities.
