Waitakere Ranges Local Board By Election
I am standing in the Waitakere Ranges Local Board By-Election.
I wanted to introduce myself, and give you an opportunity to leave questions and comments below about me or issues and problems you feel are the biggest priority for you.
For the last 22 years, I’ve lived in, and been raised by, the Waitakere Ranges.
I am ready to start giving back.
The Waitakere Ranges is a unique mix of rural and urban communities on the fringes of a bustling Super City.
If we don’t stand up for ourselves, our voice, and our heritage will get lost amidst the drive for growth and expansion.
I’ve got the energy, the passion and the commitment to fight for our community, to keep battling to make sure Waitakere people get the investment and opportunities that will empower our community, our local businesses and guarantee our heritage and infrastructure is looked after.
- Reopen Waitakere Train Station and extend trail service to Huapai
- Bus routes from Piha-Waiatarua to Glen Eden, and Huia-Parau-Laingholm to Titirangi.
- Action on road safety hot spots like the Piha Rd Intersection
- Working with, not against, local business and tourism providers
These are things that matter to me, and there will be other things that matter to you: as your Representative I intend to champion both.
I am asking for your vote, so I can be an advocate and a fighter for the Waitakere Ranges.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
