As your current independent councillor, I’m not tied to any political party.

I’ve worked hard to represent Papanui, putting people before politics, focusing on practical results that are achievable and affordable. I’ve hosted nearly 100 resident drop-in sessions, listening and taking action on local issues.

I’ve delivered on my promise to defer the Harewood Rd cycleway, and pushed back on over-engineered intersections and unnecessary speed bumps. I back common-sense decisions that serve our community and challenge unjustified rates increases.

My priorities are simple - spend wisely, fix what’s broken, and protect what makes Christchurch a great place to live.

A lawyer for 20+ years, with 30+ years governance experience and past executive leadership roles in central/local government and Ngāi Tahu.

Christchurch is moving in the right direction with renewed energy and ambition. I’m committed to working hard for a resilient, liveable, and forward-looking city. It’s a privilege to serve you.
