I believe there are pivotal decisions for Buller to be made in the next three years that need established and trusted relationships with West Coast councils, iwi and government. I have developed these relationships over the past six years and I am the best to work collaboratively to achieve outcomes. Government has zero appetite to work with negativity; I believe we must be positive and provide solutions by working together. That approach will continue to serve us well.
I am born and bred local and have approached my local government roles firstly as a councillor then as mayor with professionalism and humility to learn how local government works and how we consider and build communities. I believe this is not about big business. It is about building respectful relationships with community and across central and local government and our key industries. I want it always to be a team approach including councillors, staff and community all playing a part.
