Dunedin City Council

The Dunedin City Council provides local services and facilities, such as public transport, rubbish and recycling, libraries, parks, and recreation facilities. It also makes decisions about building and planning, local regulations, and infrastructure, such as water supply and sewerage. The council is made up of 14 councillors and the mayor. This is a single transferable vote (STV) election, so you vote by ranking the candidates on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Dunedin City Council election.

Why I'm standing

I passionately believe in Dunedin and want to transform it from a city people leave for work and affordable housing elsewhere, to a city people come to build their lives. I love Dunedin with its progressive and vibrant heritage and culture and will not suffer it to be sold off or starved. We need to celebrate and affirm our communities so that Dunedin can thrive. I am running to fight for the future Dunedin deserves.

About me

I have volunteered for and then served on the board of Dunedin Pride for years, actively working to celebrate and affirm the rainbow community and have successfully delivered both annual festivals and monthly events. Through my work as an ECE kaiako, academic background, church, tabletop role-playing and volunteering, I have a strong passion for, relationships with and understanding of diverse local communities and what they mean to our city. He Takata, He Takata, He Takata.

My priorities
  1. Create a pre-approved design pattern book to incentivise new housing that grows and supports Dunedin.
  2. Empower community organisations and charities to make meaningful changes to our city.
  3. Oppose austerity and ideological cuts that seek to throw away the long-term future of our city.
