Why I'm standing
Because I have a great skillset and experience to be an effective board member. I take time to understand matters and work well with a group to determine the best outcome for any of the varied agenda items that come across the community board table. Having one term under my belt, I'm seeking to provide continuity and return on investment to our community.
About me
I have good practical experience with building things and can equally handle the admin from concept through to delivery. I work with CODC on a regular basis in my position as a land surveyor delivering land development projects throughout Central Otago and am at the forefront of understanding growth pressures and finding solutions around those issues.
My priorities
- Gain community buy-in to community matters, also known as council matters, as we are all on the same team.
- Knit the Cromwell memorial hall into the fabric of the community.
- Develop Cromwell's town centre to encourage more centralised hospitality, commercial and retail.
