I'm standing to be your councillor in the upcoming election because I love Auckland. Our city is a great place to live but we need more passion, ambition and leadership to make it everything it could be.

For over a decade I’ve worked as a problem solver for large organisations, helping them improve outcomes for customers, staff and shareholders. I want to use my skills, experience and love for our city to improve Auckland for everyone. I will fight for proper investment in East Auckland, improve transport, preserve our environment and ensure our communities have a strong voice.

You can contact me anytime on Neighbourly, Facebook, mobile (022 543 7601) or via my website.

With your support, I will provide the vision and leadership to tackle the tough issues, put in the hard work and ensure the people of East Auckland are heard at the council table.

On Friday 6th September the Acacia Cove residents were spoilt with a visit from the Manukau Youth Jazz Orchestra. What a treat it was!

These kids, aged between 13 and 15, are talented beyond belief and it was amazing to see them in action. Not only are they very good at playing various instruments, there were a few amazing vocal performances too.

Both our Residents and our Manager, Bruce Cullington was very impressed. Well done to Musical Director Joseph Allan and thank you for bringing the kids to Acacia Cove.

We would love to see them again.
