My Priorities for Taumarunui–Ōhura

1. Clear Budgets & Responsible Spending

I’m committed to transparency in council finances, reducing overspending and cutting waste — so every ratepayer dollar is used wisely and effectively.

2. Honest, Open Communication

You deserve to know what’s going on. I’ll make sure updates are clear, honest, and regular — no jargon, no spin.

3. Listening to Locals

I’ll always prioritise the real voices of our community. That means listening first, understanding local needs, and acting with respect and purpose.

4. Supporting Our People

Our rural towns and villages deserve the same care and attention as any big centre. I’ll fight to honour and uplift all parts of our ward — not just the loudest ones.

5. Reducing Pressure on Rates

By tackling waste and overspending, we can help ease the burden on households. Smarter spending means less pressure to raise rates — and more money in your pocket.
