Why I'm standing

I am running because I believe our community deserves better from council. Too often the basics are neglected while money and energy go elsewhere. I want to bring practical solutions, strong accountability, and a focus on delivering results that matter. My motivation is simple: to serve the community and make local government work for people.

About me

I will make a good representative because I bring strong leadership, problem-solving skills and a commitment to accountability. My professional experience in business has prepared me to analyse issues, ask tough questions and ensure decisions are made transparently. I value fairness, efficiency and responsibility, and I will work constructively to make sure council delivers on what matters.

My priorities
  1. Cut council waste and keep rates low by focusing only on essential local services.
  2. Fix basics such as repairing roads, drains and water networks that households rely on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably without council delays.
