I'm Trish Deans. For over 22 years, I've worked passionately for our community, as Co-Chair of Devonport Heritage, Deputy Chair of the Auckland Civic Trust, President of Grey Power, former Local Board member and more. These roles have given me the experience to advocate effectively for the issues that matter most to us. There's still work to do: addressing flooding, resolving Takapuna Library plans, solving the Milford-Takapuna walkway, and protecting Devonport's special character. As an independent candidate, I'm committed to a collaborative and transparent approach to decision-making always putting the community first. I have a proven track record: raising public funds $125,000 for Harmony Hall, initiating the Devonport Belmont Bayswater Emergency Response Plan, and ensuring heritage protection remains a government priority. I'm not tied to any party, but to you the people of North Shore. Please support me, Trish Deans, as your independent voice for the future of our community.
