Dave Dunlay

My principal place of residence is in the Banks Peninsula Ward area.

I'm standing as an independent to put Banks Peninsula first.

My job is to give you a voice, to understand what’s important, and enable our communities to work well with Council.

Rate increases and the cost of living mean it’s tough times for many people, particularly those on a fixed income. Council must stop overspending and focus on what matters.

I’ll work hard to make sure your money is spent wisely.

My wife and I have lived in Lyttelton for nearly 30 years, raising our family here. We also run an eco-yurt farm stay in French Farm.

I’m not a career politician and I’m not here to follow a party line. I’ll always represent you.

Through my broadcasting and business career I’ve learnt that solutions start with listening first, then action and solving problems. That’s the common-sense approach I’ll bring to Council.

I’d appreciate your vote.
