Moving Rotorua Forward

Why I'm standing

I think Rotorua can be the best place to raise a family, start a business and get ahead. I think Rotorua needs people with a positive vision to move our city foward. I have experience across business, community and the public sector - I know how to get things done.

About me

I grew up in Rotorua, spent time around NZ and abroad in business and public sector, I moved back to Rotorua to raise my son because I know this place is like no other. I believe in collaborative, positive and enduring solutions which improve our city for all. I have experience running a charitable trust and want to deliver for our community.

My priorities
  1. Restore confidence in Rotorua through smart investment in quality infrastructure, places and parks.
  2. Boost community safety by lighting our city and reforming dog control rules.
  3. Apply smart economic planning to attract investment and visitors to provide jobs and opportunities.
