Tamah Alley

My principal place of residence is in the Central Otago District Council Election area.

Central Otago needs proven, collaborative leadership to help keep our region progressive, innovative, and affordable.

I’m a wife, mum, former councillor and Police Constable, and proud to serve as your Mayor. I’m standing because I’m passionate about the people who call this place home and want to keep delivering positive outcomes across our district, so all generations can thrive, belong, and feel proud.

As our district grows, every decision must reflect respect for the past and responsibility to future generations. I’m focused on smart, sustainable growth: working with developers on community-led plans, investing in infrastructure aligned to demand, and protecting the character of our places.

I’ll support innovation, technology and partnerships to help boost council finances into the future. I’ll keep championing affordable housing and community spaces, while strengthening emergency response and rural support.

Your voice matters, and I'm here to commit with honesty, integrity, and with heart.
