Victor Luca
Mayor of Whakatane
Why I'm standing
I'm a scientist and the best qualified to make the biggest difference in the town I grew up in. I'm the only candidate with mayoral experience. Council is mostly about infrastructure and I am an infrastructure expert. I will save money and have ideas for living within our means. Some of these are already in motion. I am a collaborator by nature and get on with people. I want to make a difference.
About me
I am honest, reliable, friendly and hard working. I'm the most qualified. I was a top scientist and have been an effective councillor for three years and the mayor for three. I have done a good job and achieved a lot in difficult circumstances. Given another term I will use what I have learned, I will build on what I have done. I would like to see the job through to completion.
My priorities
- Achieve common understanding of what affordable means in dollars and get commitment from councillors.
- Focus on good value for money and a council living within its means with critical infrastructure focus.
- Reduce wastage and improve efficiency through better prioritisation and better project justification.
