George Gilmour

Being born and raised in Lake Tarawera and now proudly raising my family here has given me a deep, personal connection to the Rotorua Lakes community. Alongside owning and operating a local security business and serving as Chief of the Tarawera Volunteer Fire Brigade, I have an in-depth understanding of the area’s unique needs and challenges. I am dedicated to advocating for our districts and ensuring that all residents feel safe, engaged, and valued all while striving for the best outcomes for our communities and the beautiful environments in which we live in.

With my daily work and extensive community involvement I have fostered excellent relationships with local businesses, community led groups, local Iwi and Mana Whenua. I am seeking to build on and actively strengthen these relationships to support the continued growth and wellbeing of our unique Lakes communities.
