AJC racecourse closes in 2026. High rise towers and terraced housing are planned to blanket the racecourse land. While I support intensification around Avondale/New Lynn town centres, we also need public green spaces. We must fight to retain the sports fields for our children/grandchildren, and ensure Avondale Market's survival. Please support me in our campaign to preserve our largest green space as our top Whau public park. Other goals are to finish Te Whau Pathway and Avondale Community Centre/Library projects. Blockhouse Bay and Green Bay town centres need upgrading and New Lynn needs its Crown Lynn Park. I am an experience Independent candidate with a common sense approach. I am a strong community advocate with a proven track record of achievement in Whau community affairs. Community experience includes Finance Committee Chair on both Waitakere and Auckland Councils, Whau Councillor and Portage Trust President. I've lived in Titirangi for 60 years.
