Why I'm standing

I am a passionate local voice in local government and have been deeply disturbed by the growing centralisation of council and local activities. I will strongly advocate for putting the 'local' back into local government through the upcoming reforms.

About me

I have been privileged to be a councillor on a small community council before 1989, a city councillor, a mayor, a regional councillor, a director on a council-controlled organisation (CCO) and a business owner. I believe that history has given me the skill sets to face the next three years well equipped to add value to the decision-making process.

My priorities
  1. Maximise the opportunity relating to the government’s reform programme for good outcomes.
  2. Take a sustainable approach to growth management to provide homes that meet everyone's needs.
  3. Fight hard for local voice and democracy which are under severe threat.
