"Mokopuna priorities" means asking questions like:

• "What will the consequences of this decision be for my grandchildren's generation?"

• "Will this action help them thrive, or will it create problems they have to solve?"

• "Are we protecting their opportunities and resources for the future?"

My TOP 4 priorities
Green Planning / Natural Habitats 

Community Spaces/ What Truly Matters 

(1) Key priorities for resilient healthy water and stormwater management include:

• Minimize pollution.

• Manage stormwater flow and flood risk.

• Protect public health and improve water quality at our beaches.

• Utilize green infrastructure and integrated planning.

(2) Investing in the essential projects that:

• restore and regenerate our natural habitats, dealing to erosion, invasive weeds and linking our tracks & bushwalks.

• maintain and expand our infrastructure, while also strategically re-engaging with sustainable mobility to address our impact on our taiao, our environment.

(3) Step up our commitment to our community services, like libraries, play grounds, community spaces and recreation centres, which are crucial for bringing people together, encouraging public involvement, and strengthening social cohesion.

(4) Initiatives that truly matter. I'm dedicated to addressing critical community issues like loneliness, safety, and support for our vulnerable people like our kaumātua, elderly and our rangatahi, young people. Let's evaluate current efforts, ask better questions, and find solutions together.
