Why I'm standing
I believe current community board members are not re-standing. I have an appropriate skill set and the time to contribute to my area through the community board. I also believe that when there are a limited number of councillors, community board members provide a link between the community and elected councillors.
About me
I am now retired. I am a Chartered Engineer and project manager who worked in commercial infrastructure projects for 45 years, with over 20 years of that experience in Christchurch and Selwyn districts. I worked with diverse organisations and groups to understand requirements and outcomes sought. I think such experience would be an asset to the community board.
My priorities
- Promote sustainable infrastructure development within the community and available finances.
- Ensure that appropriate asset management plans are in place to maintain this infrastructure.
- Work with the rural community and farmers on policy development concerning shelter belts and road safety.
