Grey District Council
The Grey District 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 eight councillors and the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in the district). one councillor will be elected from the Northern ward. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions.

Why I'm standing
I have been re-elected unopposed. I stood this year to continue the work I did last term on providing a strong voice at the table for Northern Ward residents. And to continue the community development work I'm involved in.
About me
I think our Northern Ward district is an amazing part of the world and I like making sure we are part of decisions going forward. I stand up and speak out on behalf of our ward residents and communities. I am both diplomatic and scrappy in equal measure. I get things done and love helping out.
My priorities
- Provide strong representation for Coal Creek, Runanga, Dunollie, Rapahoe, Barrytown and Coast Rd.
- Get things done and ensure infrastructure priorities make it onto the list, especially Three Waters.
- Relocate Taylorville dump, ensure safety of water supply and improve life for the neighbours.
