Andrew von Dadelszen
Chair of Public Transport and Hearings Chair
Why I'm standing
A Tauranga resident for 34 years, Justice of the Peace, and fourth term regional councillor, I need your vote, because my hard-work makes a real difference on behalf of ratepayers. Please vote for sensible councillors, who believe in science-based decision making – not fluffy rhetoric. I understand what efficiency and effectiveness really means. With our strong balance sheet, our regional council has the opportunity to make a real difference for our communities.
About me
Qualified with a Master of Business Administration, my strengths include strong governance. I am passionate about reversing the degradation of Tauranga harbour, and I chair the Rotary Centennial Trust for the restoration of the Kopurererua Valley. I am also a qualified resource hearings commissioner (chair certified), and a past director of Crown Research Institute, Plant and Food. Before that I was a director of the Environmental Protection Authority.
My priorities
- Focus on financial efficiency and value for money across all aspects of our regional council.
- A commitment to enhanced environmental outcomes, relying on strong science-based decision making.
- Congestion is a huge issue. We need an effective bus service that is customer centric.
