Why I'm standing
I want to see an end to missed opportunities that have cost Manurewa millions in road and footpath upgrades. Central government and regional funding was available, yet not secured, leaving our communities reliant on modest discretionary transport budgets. I will fight to secure every dollar possible for our infrastructure needs; Waiata Shores to Wattle Downs footbridge, Clendon Reserve and the Puhinui Stream Regeneration Project. Time for change!
About me
I have extensive governance experience at the local board level, including as board chair. I understand budgets, financial management and how decisions at the governing body level impact communities—both financially and in real outcomes. I have a track record of supporting community feedback, voting with residents, not against them. I am committed to listening to residents and serving with transparency and accountability.
My priorities
- Fix footpaths, clear drains and support weekly rubbish collections to create healthy neighbourhoods.
- Continue Puhinui Stream work, walkway linking The Gardens and Hillpark to Wirihana and Manukau.
- Maintain existing assets to prevent losses like Tadmor Hall and ensure long-term community use.
