Guy Stephen Wishart
Rodney Local Board Member - Kumeu subdivision
Why I'm standing
I am running as I want to see a well planned, functioning community where all people, big and small, have the facilities they need to live a safe, enjoyable, enriched life. I believe much of what council does is provide the community facilities, roads and transport options that make our lives better. I know there is never enough money to do everything, so making good decisions that help as many people as possible and protect the environment is essential.
About me
I am deeply involved in a wide range of community service organisations in the northwest area, including Huapai-Kumeu Lions, Kumeu Emergency Network, Flood Alerts, Kumeu Arts concerts, the Showgrounds and Kumeu Community Action. As a local board member, I must listen to all community voices and make decisions on balance. I do not have predetermined positions on governance matters but look at what the community needs to live safe, enjoyable, enriched lives.
My priorities
- Find solutions to daily congestion on SH16 by advocating for public transport options.
- Advocate for regular river and drain maintenance and stop houses being built on flood plains.
- Oppose new development in Riverhead, Kumeū-Huapai, Taupaki and Waimauku before infrastructure is built.
