Why I'm standing
My commitment is to foster a healthy, diverse, and economically strong district by protecting our unique character while supporting well-planned, sustainable development. I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure our community's voice is not just heard, but acted upon.
About me
I ran for council in 2022 to be a strong voice for our rural communities on land and water issues, a stance rooted in my family's history of farming in West Eyreton since the 1960s. Having lived most of my life in Waimakariri and served in a number of community organisations, I have a good feel for local people and aspirations.
My priorities
- Sustainable land and water management.
- Respond to the community's opposition to the proposed Ohoka Village and Woodstock Quarry and landfill.
- Work with people to create safer, healthier and more connected communities.
