Inclusive Council Park

The Kaiapoi Food Forest has the only Wheel chair friendly BBQ table…
All Waimakariri Council reserves should have them…

The Kaiapoi Food Forest is leading the way in creative seating

Standing for:

Arriving in Kaiapoi 15 years ago, I became involved in the community by volunteering for two emergency services. Became a trustee for You Me We Us an organisation that puts on local events. I set up Kaiapoi.info and facebook page to encourage residents to Support, Shop and Eat local.
Married to Shirley, father of three wonderful sons and a grandad. Our photography and sculpture business exports to 15 countries.
Two years ago Council approached me to create a community Food Forest, with a vision of Connect, Educate, Nourish and Inspire.
Kaiapoi and the Waimakariri is a great place to work and live. The district population is growing quickly, with many on fixed incomes. I am concerned with yearly rate rises, we need more local jobs, we need to be more creative and fiscally responsible.
My business acumen and record for volunteering, allow me to appreciate issues in our community.
