Rodney is more to me than just where I live, work the land, raised family and proudly serve our community. I care deeply about where Rodney’s headed, and I want to make sure we get there in a way that protects what makes Rodney special, all while preserving our environment, history, and heritage. My Priorities: Infrastructure that grows with us; Better-maintained roads and more sealing across rural areas; Landowners deserve choice, not council-driven ideology on private land; Safe, accessible parks for all users that supports future growth. I bring 35+ years of experience in business, farm contracting, land management, and engineering. I’ve proudly rolled up my sleeves for our community through groups like the Puhoi Community Forum, Mahurangi Sports and Recreation Collective, Puhoi Landcare Group, Mahurangi Equestrian Advocacy Group and will continue to advocate and represent local groups at local board level. If elected I’ll bring a collaborative, commonsense approach.
