Why I'm standing

As a current member, I understand the role that the Waitematā Local Board can play in realising the potential of the inner heart of our great city. But I also understand how the board can become a wheel spinning rubber-stamping bureaucracy. It must aim higher and achieve more and I want to be joined by board members who share my vision and passion.

About me

I won't accept second best for the Waitematā. It has a unique role in Auckland and New Zealand. I want to work hard and inspire others to work hard on all the big and small things needed to get Central Auckland back on its feet.

My priorities
  1. Breathe life back into the Auckland CBD.
  2. Redevelop Central Auckland waterfront.
  3. Take local board consultation and decision making out into the community.
