Hi,
I’m standing as a community independent with City Vision for the Waitemata Local Board.
City Vision represents the local Labour, Green and Alliance Parties and community independents, like me, who are progressive people keen to represent their communities but do not belong to any political party.
City Vision is putting forward a strong, experienced, community-focused team for the Waitemata Local Board:
- Christopher Dempsey – current Chair of the Eden-Albert Community Board
- Jesse Chalmers - young, Green, the new generation of local politics
- Bruce Kilminster – current Chair of the Western Bays Community Board
- Shale Chambers – local Ponsonby lawyer and company director
- Kate Stanton – current Community Board member for Western Bays
- Tricia Reade – a well-known Ponsonby resident through her work at the Ponsonby Community Centre and City Fringe Inc.
Read more about the team and what we stand for here.
We will also be working with Mike Lee to ensure he becomes a Councillor on the new Auckland Council for the Waitemata and Gulf Ward.

My preferred mode of transport is on 2 wheels. My Victoria Classic sits by the front door ready for any trip I need to make – especially around Auckland’s “Zone 1″. I’m fortunate that I don’t have the expense of a car and love the convenience cycling. But please don’t call me a cyclist. I [...]
Im looking forward to walking and cycling over the Newmarket Viaduct this Sunday. There is the promise of stunning views and a festival atmosphere as people take over a stretch of motorway. Planning for the event and for the full closure the following weekend when the “switchover” occurs has highlighted our obsession with car travel [...]
“Build loose suburbs carved up by busy roads and without green spaces and you help to create a population of fat, lonely people plagued by criminals. Build dense, leafy settlements with mixed uses, protected from traffic, and you help to create safe, fit and friendly communities.” George Monbiot I love living in central Auckland and [...]
Strong local boards are going to be crucial to the effective governance of the Auckland Super City. If the boards across the Auckland Region dont work well with each other, the CCOs and the Auckland Council we are going to end up in a complete mess of parochial decision making. The structure is intended to [...]
