Jake Mclellan

My principal place of residence is not in the Central Ward area.

Our community is where I grew up, went to school, and now have the privilege of representing you. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together — from the much-needed refresh of the Linwood Village shopping area and surrounding green space, to cracking down on unsightly land banking to enable more central city development, and securing the Living Wage for City Council workers. Most recently, I’ve helped get the ball rolling on a new CBD shuttle service.

I’ve always been clear about what I stand for. I won’t support selling off our public assets — not the port, the airport, or the lines company. I’m committed to working hard for our community, spending wisely, and investing only in projects that capitalise on Christchurch’s potential. I’m asking for your support so we can keep delivering for our community.
