- Fair and affordable rating system. I am opposed to flat taxes like the Uniform Annual General charge which proportionately shifts the rating burden onto lower value property owners.
- Water is a basic human right and should be provided at minimum cost. I am opposed to user pays commercial charging models for water and wastewater.
- Better bus and train services, cycleways and safer walking routes must be provided. Cutbacks in funding for traffic lights at the Blockhouse Bay Rd/Tiverton Rd intersection make it almost impossible to cross as a pedestrian at peak times.
- Local boards and council must be accountable to our communities. Community consultation is essential to build strong and inclusive communities.
- Funding for our libraries, parks, community centres and environmental groups is essential. In particular libraries are focal points in our communities.
- The large rates rises in recent years
- The increasing congestion and speeds on the local roads, which are not built for such volume
- Enforcing a safer community environment
- Maintaining a strong focus on affordability
- Finding a balance of progress and preservation

- Making our voice heard at a local and regional level. The new "Supercity" must work for our communities. I will continue to promote our communities in the new structure.
- Work for better outcomes for the community and environment around SH20. NZ's biggest transport project must deliver better mitigation for our ward. Transport projects within our area must be solutions that balance people, the environment and sustainability.
- Promote safer streets and communities. The targeted work of our Local Board will be essential in making this happen.
- Support families to build strong communities. Families and neighbours are key to building strong and resilient communities. I will continue to work at a community level.
- Useable local parks for everyone. Better, safer and easier access to parks for all members of our communities.
