Why I'm standing
I am running for election in Papanui because I love the area and the city, and we need leadership that is proven, collaborative, and committed to a positive vision.
About me
I've been deputy chair of our Community Board for six years and have run Think Papanui since 2016. I'm a member of the Institute of Directors and co-chaired an LGNZ advisory committee. I've been a trustee with the Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust and Casebrook Intermediate School, and board chair of a national charity. I'm connected and committed to our local Papanui community, and have the skills and experience to be an effective Community Board member.
My priorities
- Ensure strategic assets remain in public ownership, delivering dividends to the council.
- Support an effective and safe transport system to mitigate the impact of the city's growth.
- Further increase community participation in Community Board decision-making.
