Kia Ora, I'm Gemma Donaldson. I live and work in the Northwest and want to see real, lasting improvements for our community. From daily gridlock on SH16 to storm damage and unchecked development, Kumeū deserves better infrastructure, smarter planning, strong leadership and tangible results. Leading regional charity South Kaipara Good Food, I’ve built trusted partnerships locally and nationally, delivering practical results with schools, agencies, community, businesses and government. Our unique identity matters, as does safe access to schools, green spaces, and rates spent wisely - not wasted on ineffective or unnecessary projects. We need development that protects what makes our area special and supports families for the future. I’m a committed local who listens, leads with integrity, and believes Kumeū deserves a clear, strong voice at the table.
