What does your street need right now?

As a long-time resident of East Coast Bays, it’s a question I’d like Council to ask us on a regular basis.

Our single vote every few years is not enough engagement.

It shows, because only about 4 out of 10 of us felt it worthwhile to vote in 2022.

Imagine if your local representatives held regular meetings with your street, so your views could be seen and heard. That’s why I’m standing as a candidate.

I have a special connection with the East Coast Bays because I grew up here, and I want to give back to our community through public service.

For the past decade I’ve provided local technology education, and prior to that have been involved in eco-tourism, and have a qualification featuring public policy analysis.

In September, you’ll see me as a candidate in your voting pack for the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board. Thank you if you voted for me in the last election.
