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.

Why I'm standing

I am extremely concerned at the rate increases over the next three years. Extremely concerned about the Three Waters debt load from Central Government and extremely concerned about increasing homelessness.

About me

I passionately care about ensuring a vibrant city. I have been a lawyer supporting local businesses for over 20 years and understand their struggles. I have served on not-for-profit boards for over 30 years and want to ensure the most vulnerable have a voice.

My priorities
  1. Address debt loading caused by Central Government pushing costs onto councils due to water infrastructure interference.
  2. Address flooding issues and water contamination through failing infrastructure and climate change.
  3. Balance housing development and its impact on communities, focusing on housing and homelessness.
