I’m advocating for fresh approaches and am trying some different engagement tools throughout my campaign.

You can help by taking part in our online conversation on what’s important for city residents.

We will be sharing the results as we learn more about what’s on top for our residents.

I’m standing on three key issues

Community voice

I led Council’s village planning programme and I know communities want to be involved in community-led solutions and are capable of great things. Council could do so much more by working with communities, and finding new ways of engaging with residents to get them involved.

Environmental protection

My door knocking so far suggests people are very concerned at the effect failing infrastructure is having on our environment. Greenfield development is creating urban sprawl in our city. This risks our areas of environmental significance and severs communities from public transport and social amenities.

Financial sustainability

Rates rises are hurting. Our Council provides crucial services and we need to make sure that money is spent wisely. We need to keep residents updated about budget issues and involved in budget decision making. We need to lobby government for fairer funding models. I will work hard to keep Council efficient and accountable.
