Why I'm standing

I am putting my name forward because I care about the future of our roads, our infrastructure and the way we grow.

About me

I have experience in agriculture, technology, irrigation, compliance systems and in the non-profit sector. I have particular interests in health and safety and expertise in aviation. I see synergies between the role of councillor and my day job travelling the district talking to people.

My priorities
  1. Introduce collaborative planning to form the next district plan with local input.
  2. Ensure funds are available to replace assets so less debt is needed.
  3. Ensure the airport asset is restored and safely operated.
