The number one job of Council is to ensure we can connect via our roads, access safe drinking water and trust the pipes when we flush. With a clear focus, we can keep a lid on rates rises and secure our base for the future. I'm a mother of four, small business owner and lawyer, living on a small farm in Whang?rei Heads since 2014. Our children have all been through Parua Bay School, where I served on the board and helped deliver the new building and football field. My background includes government policy work, a Masters from London School of Economics, and service as a Disputes Tribunal Referee - experience that will help me make sound decisions and deliver outcomes for our community. As a lawyer, I help people find solutions. That's what I'll bring to Council. Source: WDC
