Scott Caldwell

I believe in Wellington, but it’s time for a shakeup. We need fresh vision and a no-nonsense approach to revitalise the city.

I was born in the kind of faceless NZ suburb you see all around the country. Until the age of 10, I had never experienced a proper walkable, compact city.

The feeling that a city could be enjoyable for everyone to live in is something that has stuck with me ever since, and it will be the driving force behind my mayoralty.

Cities should be liveable and enjoyable but, for too long, Wellington has been held hostage to ideology and nostalgia. More importantly, we’ve become afraid of growth and change.

I stand for more affordable housing, better infrastructure, thriving local businesses, and real rates relief for all Wellingtonians - and I’m up for the challenge if you are. Vote Scoot! #1
