Why I'm standing
The Dunedin City Council, on many fronts, needs serious work. It is totally unprepared for the impending rates cap.
About me
Because I get things done and have a specific plan about how to bring DCC to a sustainable financial position. I have compassion for the many people on fixed incomes who face severe hardship with planned massive rate rises. I'm persuaded by evidence and results, not ideology.
My priorities
- Ensure no further debt and keep rates increases at or below inflation.
- Instruct the CEO to deliver a 2026 operating budget at least 5% below the 2025 budget.
- Review and reduce planned 2025–2034 capital spending.
