Why I'm standing
I am at the stage of my career that I have something to offer and with my academic background and understanding of local government I can contribute in a positive way to the debates and challenges ahead. Local government is likely to undertake some major change – and while I support that process we have to have the right conversations about what that looks like and what we are trying to 'fix'.
About me
With over 20 years of experience in law, policy, economics, governance and leadership, I have worked across city, district, and regional councils, as well as in the Pacific, integrating climate resilience and sustainability into policy and regulatory reform. As a consultant, I have coordinated long-term urban growth planning in Western Bay of Plenty and Tauranga and my expertise uniquely positions me to address our region's challenges and help shape a sustainable future for our community.
My priorities
- Have evidence-based conversations about local government and the future of regional councils.
- Adapt to climate change through a joined-up approach with central government, councils and iwi.
- Fund infrastructure without adding to the financial burden on residents and ratepayers.
