Peter Vaughan for Mayor
Peter Vaughan was raised in West Auckland, and although he has lived outside Auckland on occasion, he has always come back to the city he grew up in and loves.
Peter and his wife Carolyn have 7 children between them, and a number of grandchildren. This has reinforced Peter's strong connection to Auckland, and means he has a vested interest in it being the best it can be, now, and into the future.
Peter has an interesting and varied background, having been a soldier in the territorials, worked as an Electrician on large scale commercial projects, and studied Soil Science. He has also studied people extensively, and acted as an adviser to large Corporates, helping them to chose the right people for the right roles through expert profiling techniques he developed. This means Peter has a vast knowledge of the commercial environment and the people in it to bring to the table in regards to the future of Auckland Super City.
Peter has seen what is going wrong with Auckland, and has new and innovative ideas to get Auckland moving.
Peter is not a Politician, he understands about Budgets and budgeting, and treats spending other peoples money with the respect it deserves.

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!
