FOR BOP REGIONAL COUNCIL
Your answer to a responsive, innovative, and energetic regional councillor
I am committed to protecting our magnificent environment, providing great service, practical infrastructure, better business and good governance.
We have beautiful harbours, wetlands lakes and beaches and I want to see them looked after whilst being very careful to balance environmental protection and enhancement with the need to grow and enjoy our place.
We need to focus on affordable and reliable public transport, more networks of green space, walkways and cycleways, getting certainty for finishing road and rail projects. And I want to ensure the regional council provides support for investment in regional infrastructure and facilities such as its recent support to the new Tauranga University Campus.
I have served on the regional council for three years and am currently Chair of the Finance Committee, a Director of Quayside Holdings and a Trustee at the Enviro Hub. In this time we have been focused on doing business better, tasking the organisation with saving $750,000 in operating costs and working more efficiently.
