Grenville GaskellStanding for:

Porirua-Tawa General Constituency

Affiliation:

Independent

Principal place of residence:

My principal place of residence is in the Porirua-Tawa General Constituency area.

Why I’m standing

I care greatly about the future of our region and the important role Greater Wellington Regional Council has in contributing to a thriving community that values sustainable environmental outcomes.

My focus will be on ensuring efficient and effective core service delivery. The level of recent and forecast rate increases is unaffordable for many households and businesses and must be reduced.

About me

I have spent most of my career in leadership roles including finance, marketing, asset management, project delivery and general management. My most recent role was as Chief Executive of the Wind Energy Association. I am on the management committee of The Guardians of the Pāuatahanui Inlet and would consider it a privilege to represent the Porirua-Tawa constituency.

My priorities

The provision of high-quality cost-effective core services, ensuring our environment is protected for future generations and working collaboratively with regional stakeholders to improve delivery.
