From a farming family in Canterbury, I was drawn to environmental planning, and have worked in landscape architecture and resource management in local and central government and the private sector for 35 years. On Environment Canterbury I will bring my lifetime of experience as a problem solver and collaborator.
We can have well-connected and affordable transport, manage our air, soils, waters and protect our precious ecosystems for vibrant communities, a strong resilient economy and abundant mahinga kai.

I am standing for Environment Canterbury, offering my environmental management skills and collaborative thinking to help increase our awareness of the environment in our decision making.
I spent three years on the Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee which gave me insight into the challenges we face with land-use and fresh water health.
Canterbury deserves a sustainable and prosperous future. I will work tirelessly with iwi, businesses and communities to achieve this goal.
