Contested 1 race — 1 elected
My principal place of residence is not in the Arataki General Ward area.
I've been living in the Bayfair area for 33 years. I wasn't part of the council stood down by the Minister, but have previously served as a councillor.
I'd continuously strive to foster a cohesive team - ideally a mix of fresh new faces and experienced ones. Inflation and the cost-of-living crisis means it's now critical to defer council's debt-fuelled spending plan, rather than resorting to selling assets.
I was instrumental in implementing a Rates Cap, which stood for many years and helped with rates affordability.
My goal is to introduce more prudent limits on rates increases and refocus expenditure for a growing city e.g. transportation and supply of housing through effective planning and delivery of supporting infrastructure, rather than expensive buildings planned for the CBD - something we don't urgently need.
Let my experience help deliver the city we need through effective decision-making that's representative of the community's wishes.
