2024 Tauranga City Council Election • July 20, 2024 Local
  • Mayor
    Tauranga City Council
    Affiliation: Independent
    Candidate Statement

    My principal place of residence is in the Tauranga City Council area. I am also standing for Pāpāmoa General Ward.

    I am an engineer. I have a bachelors degree from Auckland University, and a Doctorate from Cambridge University. Born and raised in Tauranga, I have worked overseas and have been back in Papamoa for the last 20 years. Tauranga is a great place to live, but our rates are too high and spending is out of control. We need careful spending, realistic budgets and affordable rate increases. I would scrap the CBD projects. Council should get back to basics: water, roads and facilities. Tauranga needs better roads, more community facilities, cheaper housing and cycle paths. The council organisation needs to be fixed, it is top heavy, inefficient, and is wasting our money. Sensible spending and reducing waste is a better deal for ratepayers than just increasing rates. Council needs new faces who will reign in the out-of-control spending. Please elect a good team for Council.
