Our region deserves more vision and ambition. I have the passion, skills and experience to make it happen. My Vision: I support initiatives that boost the region’s economy and creative sector. I will advocate for transport and walkway solutions that better interconnect neighbourhoods, shops and parks. I will demand effective, and inclusive, longterm infrastructure planning and action. Our world-unique natural environment will be prioritised, nurtured and enjoyed by all. My skills: I have a record of bringing good people together to make things happen. I’ve delivered successful, award-winning projects locally and at Auckland Museum, Te Papa and Corban Estate Arts Centre. Having lived in the area for over 30 years, I understand its strengths and challenges, and its potential to be the best place anywhere. My promise: I will work with laser focus on your behalf. I’ll innovate, collaborate and apply pressure on central council to deliver your needs. www.dianeblomfield.nz
