Fred Ratahi

Standing for: Buller District Council - Seddon Ward

My tribes are Maniapoto Tainui Waikato.

I have lived at Granity for 49 years, having married Dot who grew up at Millerton.

We have three adult children and five grandchildren.

And after that 49 years, I think I may have been accepted as a “Coaster” and am enjoying that privilege.

I have been your Councillor for the past 12 years and have enjoyed the challenges, especially those that the Northern Buller community has set me.

We can see the benefits of what are not only my efforts but the community spirit that get behind the projects that are being put in place, and which we will be able to sit back and enjoy in the time to come.

I feel I would like another term on Council to see these projects completed.
