1. Transport
   Transparent planning and cost management of the Albany Park and Ride facility. No point in a park and ride facility when there is insufficient parking. We need to ensure the efficient use of what is very expensive real estate.
   Support for an additional, strategic and cost efficient crossing from the North Shore to Auckland City and to the airport. We have seen the devastation wreaked by recent earthquakes in Christchurch.
   Whenuapai – we need to keep our options open for this existing valuable facility for the future. Such valuable infrastructure will be prohibitively expensive to replicate in the future.
   Smart measures to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic on our motorways.
   
2. Value for money for ratepayers. Commonsense and balance required.
3. Support for the continued revitalization of Browns Bay, Torbay and Mairangi Bay villages, our beachfronts and business communities.
   Health of our waterways and local bird life.
4. Education – support and recognition of the value of our local educational institutions, and ensuring that their aspirations are supported by councils.
5. Building consent process – a friendlier and more constructive approach to be fostered for users.

1. The arguments for a second harbour crossing have centred largely on the need to relieve our commuter woes. That is the everyday issue affecting North Shore residents, but a far more threatening and compelling concern is the strategic vulnerability of relying on one aging, and already inadequate, north-south transport route to our ports, railways and vital social services.
   
   The truth is North Shore City is far too reliant on a single harbour crossing. Don’t think disaster can’t happen – it can and, in other parts of the world, has. I strongly support the need to get a second harbour crossing under way immediately. It will take a decade of careful planning and construction -- but will not avert the transport crisis already at hand. In the short-term we need to continue to provide more effective public transport solutions such as the bus-way.
   
   I freely admit the problems associated with financing the project, and the potential social dislocation, are daunting, but the prospects of failing to act now, are more disturbing. We must find the political will to see it through.
2. We have a unique opportunity to greatly enhance the Browns Bay commercial area and beachfront, and perhaps more importantly, to construct something of social significance for future generations.
   
   The Browns Bay Centre Plan, which was adopted by Council last term, is a vision for the revitalisation of the Browns Bay commercial and beachfront area -- in a way that will be compatible with the public beach reserve. The work on developing the Boardwalk along the beachfront is complete but some key directions still need to be determined.
   
   I firmly believe that we need to bring together landowners, residents and Council, in partnership, to once and for all find consensus over the future form of what is effectively the “jewel in the Bays’ crown”.
3. While I was in the United States recently, I spent a pleasant northern summer evening listening to live music under the stars at Louisville (about halfway between Boulder and Denver, Colorado).
   
   Historic downtown Louisville is the location of a street faire that will runs Fridays, June through August. Local and national bands are featured, along with a great selection of food vendors, artisans and children’s activities. Tents are provided for inclement weather, making this a rain or shine event. The faire runs from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with music beginning at 6:00 p.m.
   
   What a great way to get the whole community involved - and what a great opportunity for some of our Bays to follow, particularly Browns Bay. One of the things I would like to encourage as a member of the Hibiscus Bays Local Board.
4. Another interesting debate is about where a new Community Swimming pool should be located - North Harbour Stadium or Massey University.
   
   This was an issue back during my previous term on Council and at that time I did consider the option of using the Massey site as one worthy of further investigation.
   
   However once again we have a council that gets too tied up in process instead of getting on with the job. The three (or is it more) reports costing close to $1,000,000 that have been considered by this council appear to indicate that the Stadium site is the best for any pool complex.
   
   I accept that and our councillors should now get on with the job of planning and building this much needed facility that has been talked about in East Coast Bays for some 20 years now.
   
   The Stadium has many advantages as a site for such a facility and I for one will be putting my support behind delivering this project.
