My principal place of residence is in the Hutt City Council area.
I’m Semi Kuresa; running for the Hutt City Council, At Large.
For the past three years, I’ve had the honour of serving on the Petone Community Board, representing a suburb fondly viewed as a true destination for local residents, the Hutt Valley and the wider Wellington region.
That experience has strengthened my drive to represent our wider city and serve you and your families. Our people are diverse, our businesses are dynamic and our region is your home.
I want to place communities and their needs at the heart of every decision to help shape the future together.
If elected, I will: Support strong local businesses in the Hutt Valley; Promote accessible community spaces and services for you and your families; Advocate for better public transport options. I’m proud to be part of Hutt City and its people. Semi Kuresa - [email protected]
