Why I'm standing

I am running for at large councillor because I believe our communities need a good choice of candidates at this election. There is massive change in Selwyn District Council this election, 80% of councillors are not running for re-election. I believe I have reasonable experience from my three years serving on Malvern Community Board to support our brand new councillors that will be elected in October. Please join me to work together for our future.

About me

I have over 40 years experience working on major construction projects. I have served as an elected member on Malvern Community Board as the member responsible for finance. I am a member of the New Zealand Institute of Directors and have completed their training courses on governance and finance. I run my own business and my workload is flexible to make the time available to be an effective councillor.

My priorities
  1. Reduce rate rises.
  2. Review water services company.
  3. Support representation with community boards across Selwyn.
