Tēnā koutou! Whilst living in Puketāpapa for many years, I have evolved as a mum, musician, teacher and environmental volunteer. Our family have made the most of the awesome things on offer, whether it be hanging at the skate park, exploring our amazing coastline, or going to the vibrant multicultural festival. Our strong and connected communities have an energy that draws people in. Like a symphony, Puketāpapa sings to my soul! Wanting to play my part, I started environmental volunteering on Big King maunga/Te Tātua a Riukiuta. Consequently, I connected with people who have heart and passion for our communities. These heroes deserve to be celebrated and supported through ongoing funding, backing and policy support. Puketāpapa is already terrific, and now is the time to continue deepening connections and improving things we care about. It will be an honour to represent you, so please vote for the City Vision team.
