Let’s keep Whanganui moving forward
| Mayor
I believe Whanganui needs strong, stable, experienced leadership to keep positive momentum and move confidently into the future. I led a unified council throughout local government's toughest challenges during my mayoralty, delivering New Zealand's lowest average rates rise of 2.2% this year. I have also invested more in infrastructure including pipes, roads and footpaths and paid off additional debt.
I will keep rate increases low, cut red tape and fast-track building consents next term. I will grow Whanganui's economy by launching a local School of Design and Technology, exploring options to reduce power costs, attracting new industry and supporting community projects. I will continue to pursue an Air Chathams Christchurch route and transition their headquarters to Whanganui.
