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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
