Andrea De Vries
Why I'm standing
I want to ensure that our council has a culture where every voice matters - both in the community and at the council table. We need independent, engaged representatives who show up, listen widely and lead responsibly.
About me
Māmā. Wife. Sports coach. Business owner. Experienced trustee. I'm a strategic thinker with my feet firmly rooted in community, I understand the economic levers that drive city growth and the cultural values that keep communities connected. I know how to stretch a dollar to do double duty, how to have a say without stalling progress, and how to prioritise what matters most.
My priorities
- Enhance tech systems to enable better decision making, better engagement and operational efficiency.
- Advance housing development potential through spatial planning to unlock city growth.
- Harness private public partnership models to alleviate the burden falling solely on ratepayers.
