Vicki Gulleford
Kaikoura District Council - elected Councillor
Why I'm standing
I want to ensure that our community prospers for all - now and into the future. We have to take an intergenerational approach to our decision making - I want my children and their children in turn to thrive here. We have to understand central government decisions and how these impact our community. Over my last 6 years on council I have developed the skills and understanding needed to guide Kaikoura through these challenges.
About me
You will know me as a community person - I'm a volunteer, a board member, a mum, someone who helps local people grow and thrive. I work with youth and vulnerable members of our community and bring their voices to the table. I challenge others to ensure the wider impacts of our decisions are fully understood. I currently work at Te Ha o Matauranga, my previous work includes Work and Income, Barnardos, Te Whare Putea.
My priorities
- Balance growth and development without losing our community heart.
- Ensure our museum has assured council funding to maintain its viability. We cannot lose our history.
- Advocate for a Kaikoura based practical driving test route to be established.
