Responsible decision making / Low rates / Transparency / Good governance

During my time on Council, I:

  • voted against annual budgets with excessive rates increases.
  • objected to various ad-hoc proposals which required unplanned expenditure.
  • emphasised the need for community engagement as part of our processes.
  • voted for the creation of a register for councillors to declare any formal political affiliation and initiated a register for councillors to declare any management roles on community Facebook pages.
  • Supported a new Asset Management Strategy to review all city property holdings.
