Lisa Guy
Councillor Arrowtown - Kawarau Ward
Why I'm standing
I am standing again because I care deeply about this place and its people. Growth, housing and infrastructure are big challenges – but with good decisions I believe we can protect what makes our communities unique while planning for the future. I bring care, courage and clarity to the role, listening to people, asking hard questions and making balanced choices. I want to keep serving as a strong voice at the table for the Arrowtown–Kawarau ward.
About me
I believe informed decision making takes hard work. I show up well prepared and I make time to connect with people because I believe thriving together is a full-time job. I am not reliant on the role and I believe in facing the challenges we have with courage and care. I have called Queenstown home most of my adult life. My HR background means I am used to working with complexity and varying points of view, discovering solutions to hard problems together.
My priorities
- Lead with integrity by ensuring what we think, say and do line up as integrated big picture thinking.
- Build trust because people do not care how much they know until they know how much you care.
- Communicate with care, courage and clarity through frank, honest dialogue that is transparent and always accountable.
