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 decided to stand because I feel that our city is at a crossroads. We need to invest in the creativity of our people to create a vibrant society. We need to lift up our most vulnerable to build our general well-being. The days of victim blaming and corrosive policies are over.

About me

I believe passionately that our economic status is bound to the health and wellbeing of our people. I am a long term advocate for our social and natural environment. Everything flows from putting people and our environment first.

My priorities
  1. Build a professional theatre complex to enhance our proud status as Unesco City of Literature.
  2. Rebuild Mayfair theatre to enhance the wellbeing of South Dunedin.
  3. Create community gardens throughout our suburbs for public health and wellbeing.
