Chanelle Armstrong

Kia ora, I'm Chanelle Armstrong. I'm standing for Council to help shape a future where people, place, and planet are deeply cared for, and where every voice is heard. In my professional life, I will help local and national agencies plan and design services alongside communities, making sure decisions are shaped by the people they affect. I bring a background in community development, social services and policy. With leadership experience across government, youth sports, and grass roots groups, I know how to bridge voices on the ground with decisions at the top. I'm passionate about equity, climate resilience, and building partnerships that progress shared goals. I believe in responsible spending, strong local democracy, better planning for wellbeing, and building communities that feel good to live in. I love our rural and coastal communities, and it would be my privilege to roll my sleeves up and work alongside you. Source: WDC
