What is life like as a PNCC Councillor?

Key Issues I’m Engaging In.

  • Small businesses are key to providing opportunities to Palmy’s youth, and for building into the future.

  • As residents are being squeezed by cost of living increases, it’s more important than ever to make sure budgets go where needed most.

  • Palmy is my home, and it always will be. For more people to thrive in Palmy, affordable housing and robust infrastructure is crucial.

  • Palmy’s youth are its future, and our diverse cultures are core to the city engaging globally.

Over the past four-and-a-half years, I have had the privilege of serving you as a City Councillor. I am honoured by the trust you put in me to represent your priorities at the Council table. It is a commitment I take extremely seriously, and my pledge is to continue working hard on behalf of Palmerston North’s many and diverse communities.
