As your councillor, I have championed increased funding for our regional parks, expanded transport options including allowing dogs on buses, secured the one million dollar biodiversity fund for Christchurch, and led passenger rail development efforts.
I worked hard to get our meetings live streamed so that residents can see our decision making in action. It would be an honour to continue to represent you and east Christchurch again at the regional council.

I live in Woolston and love the east - with the beach, estuary, rivers and hills on our doorstep. I want to see the quality of the environment enhanced so that we can continue to enjoy the wild spaces throughout Canterbury.
I am a keen forager and fisher and love exploring the outdoors with others.
As a researcher, I would like to see more communication and awareness using scientific information and communication to get the best environmental outcomes for our region.

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.

It’s time to apply my southern life’s experience in landscape, teaching and governance to support change for good – where we all share the beauty, diversity and bounty that Canterbury has to offer.
As a nature advocate, I have led many community restoration projects, the protection of Travis Wetland and creation of the CHCH360Trail – NZ’s first urban great walk, through Ōpuna.
I will champion leadership in regenerative farming and urban design for the benefit of all – people, puna, plains and planet.
