Ratepayers do have a Voice!
| Deputy Mayor of Carterton
Why I'm standing
Our district will face many challenges as we transition through central government’s highly intrusive Local Water Done Well legislation, Regulatory Standards Bill and Local Government Amendment Bill prior to Christmas, with the future viability of council a major concern. I am committed to leading a dynamic team through those challenges, ensuring elected representatives are respectful of different views, are future focused, proud to represent their district, and put the community first over their own personal interests.
About me
Two terms as councillor, including 18 months as your deputy mayor, have provided me with the necessary skills and experience to continue with strong leadership, which is critical to ensuring we are making well-informed, practical and affordable decisions for both rural and urban ratepayers, on behalf of everyone living in our district.
My priorities
- Investigate new revenue streams as this will help to offset future rate increases.
- Ensure management are fiscally responsible, which will ensure every dollar is spent frugally.
- Ensure council focuses on core infrastructure and reduces unnecessary spend.
