My principal place of residence is in the Matua-Otūmoetai General Ward area.
Born and raised in Otūmoetai, I returned in 2006 keen to support the community that shaped me. As Executive Director of Sustainable BOP Trust and a Regional Transport Advisor, I've developed a detailed understanding of council's plans and finances.
Tauranga's biggest challenge is managing the rapid growth that's benefitting developers but overwhelming the city. Council debt is skyrocketing.
It's vital we prioritise essential infrastructure, including top-ranked transport projects (Hewletts-Totara upgrade, public transport, etc.), a Tauranga West transfer station, and keeping Otūmoetai Pool.
However, we must limit rates increases by curbing non-essential spending and ensuring the government and land developers contribute more towards growth infrastructure.
As your Matua-Otūmoetai councillor, I'll value different perspectives and ensure your voice is heard. I excel at teamwork, analysis, and finding practical, cost-effective solutions.
Please give me your #1 vote for financial accountability, transparent leadership, and a genuine community voice. I'll hit the ground running.
