Time and again, Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board has let residents down with neglected public facilities, wasteful spending on nice to haves, and decisions driven by ideology instead of practical solutions. It’s time for a shake-up on our local board. As an Ōtara-based real estate agent and community advocate, I understand the issues our neighbourhoods face because I too see them every day. With five years in real estate and hands-on experience helping families and first home buyers, I bring a practical, solutions focused approach with a strong commitment to delivering community driven outcomes. By voting for me as an ACT Local candidate, you know what you are going to get: I will advocate for long overdue stormwater upgrades, better waste services, investment in our parks, playgrounds and youth facilities, and support for streamlining local processes and backing small businesses. If you want common sense back on the board, please give me one of your votes.
