Official Candidate Biography

My principal place of residence is in the Coastal Ward area.

After six years on Community Board, I’m now putting my hand up for council. I’m reliable, hardworking, very proactive, and love working with community. I have a head for numbers and a background in business management, own two businesses, and have Instructed AquaFit for 32 years.

As a lifelong fourth-generation resident, raising my family here too, and currently living in New Brighton, the beach has been my second home. I have a wealth of Coastal knowledge others don’t. My father is former Councillor Mike Stevens the Pier is his legacy.

Do the basics well. Fix what’s broken. Resolve flooding. Future proof infrastructure. Cut wasteful spending.

I do not support over engineered cycle ways, speed platforms, and unnecessary speed humps.

Involvement - Waimairi Surf Club Life Member, Deputy Chair of Keep Christchurch Beautiful, Keep QEII in the East, Graffiti Volunteer. 

I am the Independent vote needed for change.
