Mike Petrie

A proud Wellingtonian, born and raised, and now based in Newtown, I’ve spent over 30 years in the hairdressing industry, running my own businesses and mentoring apprentices. A professional musician, I am passionate about the role the arts, events, and hospitality play in bringing life to our city.

I’m standing for Council to support the small businesses and creative communities that make Wellington special. I’ll advocate for practical solutions, better access to Council resources, and less red tape, so good ideas can thrive.

I believe in listening first and acting with purpose. Wellington needs a Council that reflects its people, bold, diverse, and focused on what matters.

I bring energy, real-world experience, and a commitment to serving our Paekawakawa/Southern Ward with integrity and action.
