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 love this city, and I want to see it thrive. Dunedin has suffered greatly from the government's cuts to our hospital, tertiary institutions and social housing, and the current council has failed to respond in a way that mitigates the harm – in fact it has made further cuts to our social housing programs. Dunedin needs brave, progressive leadership that will make the city more resilient by investing in infrastructure and building the public good.

About me

Because I am prepared to work with whoever is around the council table to build public good in this city, I have experience in governance, managerial, and political roles, and I believe we can deliver for Ōtepoti if we work together. We want a diverse council, but not a divided one.

My priorities
  1. Build more homes and build warmer homes in Dunedin.
  2. Increase support for and consultation with hard-working community groups.
  3. Make Dunedin more resilient by advocating for the necessary investment in infrastructure.
