Lower Hutt City Council

Hutt City At Large
The Lower Hutt 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 13 councillors and the mayor. This election is for the five councillors elected by all voters in the city. The other councillors will be elected to represent wards (areas in the city). This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper.

Why I'm standing

I'm running because our city is at a crossroads and needs fresh, bold leadership that listens, acts and delivers real results. Too often, decisions are slow or reactive, and our community deserves leaders who are solution-focused, accountable and committed to positive change. I want to tackle challenges head-on, improve services, strengthen our economy and ensure every resident feels valued and heard. It's time for leadership that doesn't just talk about change but makes it happen.

About me

I will make a good elected representative because I bring over 20 years of governance experience across multiple sectors, combined with a deep commitment to my community. I listen actively, act responsibly and focus on delivering practical solutions. I have strong connections across diverse communities in our city and a proven track record of leading with integrity, accountability and a focus on results that benefit everyone.

My priorities
  1. Reduce wasteful spending and manage rates responsibly to protect services for all residents.
  2. Invest in core infrastructure – roads, transport, parks – to strengthen our city and community.
  3. Build a vibrant, connected city with affordable parking, lively events and community energy.
