Geraldine Tait: Candidate for the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board and the Waikouaiti Coast-Chalmers Ward of Dunedin City Council.

I am a member of the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board. I am seeking election as your local councillor. I am committed to meaningful consultation, transparency and accountability while keeping a firm control on rates rises. The recent stadium debate is demonstrates poor financial decision making and a failure to listen to the communities views.

Essential infrastructure should be councils spending priority. A proactive approach is needed to the challenges of energy depletion, environmental protection and climate change. Dunedin should be a leader in sustainable development.

Council needs a broader cross section of people with energy and integrity.

I have demonstrated my ability to work with and for this community on a variety of issues such as; water, road safety, appropriate development and civil defence.

I am a member of Greater Dunedin, an alliance of independent candidates dedicated to working as a team to achieve a positive future for our city.
