Support the Maori Participation Working Party with open discussion and consultation.
What is your usual approach to achieving collegial and constructive relationships with the people you work with? What is the most important element of a constructive working relationship?
Listening and encourage input from those who want to contribute ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to have their say or a chance to pass on feedback from the city as a whole. Working together FOR the city not against each member.
The DCC's place-based community fund has been a game changer for community-led development and growing connected and resilient communities in Ōtepoti. What more will you do as a councillor to support community development in the city? (DCC candidate question only)
