Candidate For Coastal Community Board
Standing for Waitai - Coastal Community Board 2019
This is Me.
The Brighton Beaches have been my home for 50 years. First in North Beach and now in South Brighton, after a time spent in OZ, I returned to the place I love. My place and your place deserves to be loved and I am determined for it to get a lot more.
And like all residents here, I have a vision, a vision for the future, and I want to ensure the momentum started is continued without compromise.
I bring a stable presence, am socially active within our community, am and have been on the committee of local groups, and have been a part of every consultation session we have ever had with Council. To repair what has been damaged, to ensure sustainability as Coastal suburbs, to future proof our existence and our legacies, to see economic growth and success, to gain the wisdom for our needs in the future,…….all this can only be done with the support of the community – but I will be here to help us get there.
I want to concentrate on what is best for the future of our coastal suburbs and it’s business and residential inhabitants.
Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss anything that matters to you about your region and your city.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
