Prabha Ravi

My principal place of residence is in the Hutt City Council area.

I am also standing for Council (At Large). I am standing as an independent candidate to bring practical, community-focused leadership and a strong, independent voice to the Council table. For nearly 30 years, I’ve lived, worked, and served in Hutt City—raising my family, running a successful business, and supporting diverse communities across arts, health, and education.

My grassroots service, recognised with a Queen’s Service Medal, is backed by over 20 years of governance experience, including as Establishment Chair of the Hutt Valley DHB Consumer Council and two terms on the Central Ward Community Panel.

My priorities are clear: stopping wasteful spending by commissioning an independent financial review; fixing our failing infrastructure—roads, pipes, and public transport; and strengthening our communities by supporting arts, libraries, sports, and local groups. Let’s move beyond politics as usual and focus on putting people at the heart of every decision for Hutt City.
