Why I'm standing

Ratepayers have been let down by higher rates, bureaucracy and wasteful projects, while core services suffer. It is time to refocus on safe streets, working infrastructure and value for money. As a Hamilton resident, I understand the challenges we face including rising costs, failing pipes and poor roads. By voting for me as your ACT Local candidate, you will get lower rates, practical solutions and focus on essential services such as roads, water and rubbish. Vote #1 for change.

About me

As an engineer with proven problem-solving skills, I know how to cut waste, manage budgets and hold decision-makers accountable. I understand the pressures families and businesses face from rising costs and poor council performance. My focus is affordable rates, strong core services like roads, water and rubbish, and transparency in spending. I bring practical experience, strong community ties and commitment to fairness. As your ACT Local candidate, I will provide disciplined leadership that puts residents first.

My priorities
  1. Cut waste and keep rates low by focusing council on essentials only.
  2. Fix basics including roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
