Why I'm standing
After three years in the job there is unfinished business which I want to see through to completion. I have a passion for the people and the environment of the Coromandel Peninsula and a vision for how I can contribute to the Coromandel being the best place to live, work and play.
About me
I have spent a considerable part of the last three years in my term travelling the district and engaging with people in every part of the Coromandel. We are a district of diverse communities, each with their own needs and issues. Listening to these issues directly with the locals is an essential part of the job, and one I enjoy very much.
My priorities
- Establish a fully resourced interface for direct connection between community and council.
- Plan council and community integration of transfer stations and resource recovery centres.
- Review council operations to identify potential cost savings and make an honest assessment of available options.
