Manawatu District is in good shape. Basic infrastructure and low rates increases must continue to be prioritised.

I offer continuity and experience wanting to cement in place recent initiatives. This is important with a new very different Council.

I served as Deputy Mayor for the last 9 years, was Chair of the highly performing revitalizing Feilding Promotion for over 20 years, was a Manfeild Park Trustee for 11 years, and served on 3 school BOT’s including FAHS and was Chair of Colyton School. I live at Colyton and have a district wide focus.

I have 47 years’ property valuation and real estate experience, owning my own real estate agency. This property and local knowledge skill set is very useful for Council.

We are proudly a strong farming and agribusiness District. I want MDC to be business and customer friendly with managed growth, and balanced investment in community facilities and services.
