WHAT POSITIONS ARE UP FOR ELECTION We hope you’ll vote in all elections on your voting document – the successful candidates make decisions that affect us all every day so make sure you have your say.

You may find all or some of these positions on your voting document: 1) The Mayor is the leader of the City or District Council.

2) The City or District Council provides communities with a wide range of local services and facilities. Councils make decisions to improve community wellbeing including key infrastructure (e.g. water supply, sewerage, roads), local regulations, recreational facilities, parks, planning and building issues.

3) The Regional Council makes decisions about functions best delivered at a regional scale such as natural resource management (e.g. quality of water, allocation of water, land and soil, coastal planning, plant and pest control), regional transport, and civil defence and emergency management. Unitary Authorities perform the functions of both City or District Councils and Regional Councils.

4) The District Health Board makes decisions every day to improve the health of people in the community – including the kinds of health services to be provided.

5) A Community Board provides leadership to empower local communities and may make decisions about local issues or recommend how Council should spend money on local services.

6) A Licensing Trust exists to sell alcohol responsibly through premises in the trust area and decide how surplus profits are returned to the community. Community and other Trusts support charitable work.

7) A Poll or Referendum may also be on your voting document. Your vote in this helps the Council make decisions on the issue being considered.

My principal place of residence is in the Central Otago District Council Election area.

Since being granted the privilege of being made Mayor, I have worked hard to fulfil the promises I made to be available and to be Mayor to all parts and all people of the district. I make those promises again to you now.

Engagement between council and community has never been stronger. I have enjoyed meeting people at Coffee and Chats from Tarras to Millers Flat and there have been record numbers engaging with the 10 year plan, the Cromwell Masterplan and other consultations.

Seeing pipes being laid to start getting Clyde off septic tanks alongside other pipes bringing softer water to Alexandra, the opening of the Cromwell wastewater plant and Maniototo Hospital and forming an Affordable Housing Trust have been

Page 7

my highlights.

To me, our future challenges are the Manuherikia minimum flow outcome, housing affordability and availability, working toward a more sustainable Central Otago and maintaining a robust economy.

Central Otago District Council Cromwell Ward Electing 4 Councillors Shirley CALVERT My principal place of residence is in the Cromwell Ward area. I am also standing for the Cromwell Community Board.

A dynamic, educated person with strong community involvement, I have the enthusiasm, time and energy to get things done. I was born here, and throughout my life have maintained a constant connection with the land and the people of the Cromwell Basin.

Through my first two terms I listened to what you wanted and worked hard to make change happen. My focus now is to build on what we've achieved and keep pushing for more.

With your continued support, I can advocate on your behalf for the many challenges ahead: better access to health services, caring for our environment in an ecologically sustainable way, and retaining our village feel while allowing well-considered growth to happen.

I have the experience, leadership, community involvement and motivation needed to make positive progress for Cromwell.

Vote to better our community, our health and our environment.

My principal place of residence is in the Cromwell Ward area.

Elected members must strive to maintain levels of service and provide for the growth of Cromwell and our district in future years.

Expenditure by Council to retain the present levels of service and enable continued growth needs to be carefully balanced by elected members against the benefits for ratepayers.

The efforts of many, including our Community Board, have ensured Cromwell has been able to cope with significant growth in recent years.

Leading development of the Masterplan to ensure Cromwell's continued growth while meeting the community's aspirations was a significant achievement for me. Its implementation will require experienced and capable Councillors that understand and can apply the governance processes associated with local government.

My current community involvement and my experience as Board Chairman and Councillor since 2001 and Deputy Mayor since 2010, demonstrates that I have the proven skills, common sense and logic to represent community interests for the Cromwell Ward.

Central Otago District Council Cromwell Ward Electing 4 Councillors Jocelyn JOHNSTONE My principal place of residence is in the Cromwell Ward area. I am also standing for the Cromwell Community Board.

I am a family focused, energetic, community minded person who loves to get on with it and make things happen. I am a qualified nurse and counsellor, with years of management experience in hospitals, Plunket, a youth centre and in business.

I have a lifetime association with Cromwell and have lived here for 5 years. I recognise what makes Cromwell special - our unique history, geographic centrality, productive industries, and hard-working, well-grounded people.

I support responsible growth and the provision of new sporting and cultural facilities, such as the Cromwell Cultural Centre. I am passionate about encouraging a safe, progressive and family friendly environment, including promoting responsible camping and enhancing recreational opportunities for locals and visitors.

My style is to be consultative, approachable and available so that others views can be heard and appropriately acted upon.

I seek your support to ensure a safe and prosperous future for our community.

My principal place of residence is in the Cromwell Ward area.

We live in the fastest-growing town in New Zealand and that presents us with challenging but exciting possibilities. That said, it is our community that must have the greatest say in our district's development and not private developers. I will work for a more open, transparent and proactive Council that keeps listening. Pegging our rates to the level of inflation, holding weekly constituent clinics, and ending the procrastination around the Memorial Hall will also be personal priorities. I've been a Cromwell ratepayer for 20 years and a resident for five am actively involved in the Fine Thyme and Belles troupes, work in the wine industry, and am the step-mum to three lovely school-aged children. Like you, I love our unique region and will always campaign to preserve what makes us special, including supporting those voluntary organisations - cultural, commercial, sporting and social - that are making such a positive difference.

Central Otago District Council Cromwell Ward Electing 4 Councillors Nigel MCKINLAY My principal place of residence is in the Cromwell Ward area.

The Cromwell Master Plan I helped initiate has shown the path forward for Cromwell and I offer continuity and knowledge to guide the process through council to implement the outcomes the Cromwell community so clearly seeks.

I am Chair of the Waste and Property Committee and as such am proud of the commissioning of our state of the art waste water plant, as protecting the environment is a strong focus for me.

Fighting excessive rate rises is also important to us all. I will continue to advocate for low rate rises, aiming to balance needs and wants alongside the books.

I bring a strong business background, six years on council, and nine years on the Cromwell Community Board.

My wife, Pauline, and I live in Bannockburn and run Gate 20 Two vineyard and I ask for your support to continue to be a strong voice for Cromwell and Central Otago.

Central Otago District Council Vincent Ward Electing 5 Councillors Tamah ALLEY My principal place of residence is in the Vincent Ward area.

Central Otago requires a voice for growing families to ensure our area remains progressive, innovative and affordable. Together with my husband Matt and three children, we have 40 acres near Omakau. Currently a Police Youth Aid Constable, I am also chairperson of two local youth charities.

Our ageing population presents new challenges for residents and ratepayers. We want retirees to be well cared for and have ample opportunities to engage in and contribute to our society and economy, while ensuring the cost of additional infrastructure and development is distributed in a fair and equitable way without burdening any one generation.

Environmental sustainability coupled with economic viability and development are integral to successfully growing our region in a way that retains the values of why we live here.

I bring proven leadership, communication and mediation skills, along with energy and enthusiasm to help shape our region for future generations.

If given the privillege of representing you as a second term councillor I will continue to campaign from the heart as a mother, grandmother, businesswoman, animal rights campaigner and environmentalist.

Environment and human health are intricately entwined, whatever we do to the environment we do to ourselves.

We need transparency a better informed community and a fairer democratic process Encouraging Localism - address the growing gap between the rich and poor, insuring equal opportunities for everyone and stop the bullying Stop animal suffering, raising awareness and the level of animal welfare, encourage compassion, kindness, integrity.

I live in Clyde with my wife Christine and our 2 adult daughters work in Otago.

I have enjoyed coaching the Clyde RFC, serving on the committee of the Central Otago Wakatipu Cycling Club, and the local Business Network committee in its formative years.

Whilst employed by Rabobank as National Succession Planning Manager, I worked closely with people in situations with high stakes. I developed skills enhancing relationships while delivering families' commercial outcomes, using effective planning.

I like a collaborative approach to work on challenges using active listening to enable decision making. Managing our water and roading assets, and housing affordability while ensuring our townships provide for our growing communities' diverse needs is a priority.

Our unique district with talented people and a great story energises me. Balancing economic growth to enhance everyone in our wider community is a challenge I look forward to helping our council deliver.

Martin R MCPHERSON

My principal place of residence is in the Vincent Ward area.

I am probably best known as the event manager for the Alexandra Blossom Festival, this role brings me into contact with people across our wonderful district. It's great to see progress on all fronts across Central; a secure and safe water supply for Alexandra and the reticulation of sewerage for Clyde will stimulate development opportunities to enhance the districts popularity. These projects will future proof our district.

It is flattering when local residents approach me and ask if I would consider running for council, if residents want someone who is approachable and accountable then I'm here to listen and respond to the challenges we face. In putting my name forward for council I hope to retain the support I have been shown by residents of this community and I undertake to give them a voice on matters that will make our district a great place to live, work and play.

I am the newly appointed Chair of Central Otago Health Inc, served on the Omakau School Board of Trustees for 12 years, and am involved with other community committees and charitable trusts.

I live close to Omakau farming sheep and beef with my husband and three children, and my background is in law. I believe everyone has a right to be heard, and that diversity, compassion, innovation and collaboration are the cornerstones of a great community.

I have served two terms on CODC representing the Earnscleugh/Manuherikia Ward where I have used my strong background in financial and infrastructure management and company governance to contribute to Council and organisations including the VCB, Central Stories (the recent restructuring being an example), Central Otago Heritage Trust and Alexandra Airport.

For the past term I have been chair of the 3 Waters Committee where a number of significant projects have been initiated, e.g.

Dunstan and Omakau/Ophir Water Supply Schemes and Clyde Waste Water Scheme. I am keen to stay and see these projects through.

I am committed to ensuring environmental stewardship and that the effects of pollution and climate change are considered at planning stage of all development within the region. I believe my strong business background and passion for Central Otago provide me with the skills, experience, leadership and motivation to continue to serve the community for another term.

After one term during which it was resolved that persisting with our present hall was a bad idea plus, Cromwell deserves better - I would like to see progress on a new hall through to fruition.

With Cromwell experiencing rapid expansion, I would like to see this growth carefully and wisely managed. Our commercial and residential development should follow the Masterplan as closely as possible. Our vital soils need to be protected.

During the last three years it has been a delight to see the people of Cromwell become more engaged in local matters Plan Change 13 and the Masterplan being two examples. I would like the opportunity to further lock this in.

The Cromwell Masterplan is an achievement I am particularly proud of, and I consider my expertise in town planning, and concern for genuine community consultation to have been greatly beneficial in this process. The Masterplan sets the road map for our community's aspirations and is the

I'm standing for the Cromwell Community Board because I believe this community, and the people in it, are some of the hardest working people I have met, and you need your views heard and raised in front of members of Council. You are all trying to get ahead and make a difference for your families and future generations, and I am the person who wants to represent you.

Being a member of the Community Board, I believe, is a caretaker role. We are there to help and improve our town for our next generation, and to hand it over to them in a better condition than how we found it.

It is always strange writing a statement about myself. For those of you who are new to the area, I have lived in the Maniototo most of my life.

I have always voiced concerns raised to me at the board meetings, and fight for a fair deal for our residents.

If given the privillege of representing you as a second term on community board I will continue to campaign from the heart as a mother, grandmother, businesswoman, animal rights campaigner and environmentalist.

Environment and human health are intricately entwined, whatever we do to the environment we do to ourselves.

Prioritising Environmental care and protection is paramount especially in a time of growth and demand.

We need transparency a better informed community and a fairer democratic process Encouraging Localism - address the growing gap between the rich and poor, insuring equal opportunities for everyone and stop the bullying Stop animal suffering, raising awareness and the level of animal welfare, encourage compassion, kindness, integrity .

Let us be the change we wish to see in the world and put our selves on the map as leaders not followers. Protect our ecology, biodiversity and wildlife and take full responsibility for the legacy we leave our children. www.STOP366.wordpress.com

Our community relies on volunteer organisations for many of the social services and this work needs to be recognised and supported.

We must ensure that our communities are safe, vibrant and affordable.

I am recently retired after 24 years as Biosecurity Manager for Environment Southland, dealing with major environmental issues, including wilding conifers, rabbits, wallabies, freshwater pests and biodiversity threats. I currently chair the NZ Wilding Conifers Group.

I aim to ensure ORC meets both its legal obligations and communities' expectations in managing the region's natural and physical resources.

Otago Regional Council Dunstan Constituency Electing 3 Regional Councillors Alexa FORBES My principal place of residence is in the Dunstan Constituency area.

In the face of growth, change and disruption, the communities of Dunstan need high quality information and coherent strategy to drive a multi-level approach to long term environmental and community health.

Climate change and biodiversity are global urgencies needing local responses. Management of water, air, soil and pests, and the improvement of transport and disaster infrastructure, are regional imperatives.

ORC needs to evolve to keep up with the growing demand to meet the challenge of developing strategy that inspires and focuses its own actions while empowering communities to develop theirs. This requires a holistic, inclusive approach backed by objective scientific evidence.

As an incumbent Queenstown Lakes District Councillor, qualified sustainability practitioner, communicator, researcher and tertiary educator, I am focused on my part in building our shared future.

My principal place of residence is in the Dunstan Constituency area.

Thank you for the opportunity to be your advocate these past three years. I've consistently sought a science-based awareness to inform all of council's policy, and actively pushed for a more proactive, community-focused ORC. Whether getting monitoring buoys for our alpine lakes or extra funding to combat lagarosiphon; whether stopping councils from discharging waste into our rivers or publicly raising the rabbit menace; whether ensuring that water quality is a primary policy focus or achieving fact-based solutions for the ManuherikiaCardrona-Arrow catchments, my aim is to provide solutions that are fair and also improve our shared environment. I've consistently opposed spending $35 million upon a new HQ building in Dunedin when there are more pressing environmental issues that require such funding. Our Central/Lakes region is unique and precious - our lifestyle, economy and environment are totally inter-linked. I respectfully ask for your mandate to continue advocating for our region's best interests.

I believe our health system is in crisis. After years without an elected board, now is the time for a new candidate with new ideas.

Board members need the time, commitment and knowledge of the health system to be effective. With 12 years of financial experience in health, (7 years at our DHB), I understand the challenges we are facing. I know the questions to ask and am not afraid to ask them.

I will strongly advocate that access to cancer treatments and mental health services be improved, waiting times for elective surgeries be reduced, and our health professionals be adequately resourced.

As a father of sons aged 13 and 3, I know the anguish when a family member requires serious medical treatment. Patients and their families deserve a health system that is there for them when they need it most.

It's time for a fresh perspective. Vote for Jason.

Scans, surgery and investigations are subject to delay or cancellation. I will advocate for better, faster health services and modern facilities for patients and families across the entire Southern region. Greatest SDHB expenditure is on staff. All staff from cleaners and orderlies to doctors, nurses, technicians and midwives should be recognised for their hard work and supported to improve care. Involvement of all communities is also key. Board meetings and business should almost all be open to the public. This new Board, with democratically elected and accountable members, will govern healthcare for the next three years.

I have a health coaching qualification and run a small disability support team. My personal commitment to wellness, my past governance experience and my ability to think globally and apply locally will help the DHB with a new strategy.

We need a far bigger investment in prevention rather than cure.

Preventing chronic disease through effective education, improved nutrition and primary health care starting at home will save us all millions - that can then be re-invested in the accessible acute care which our region deserves.

With so many challenges facing the SDHB, I have decided to stand just for the health of it. The DHB needs help and I am willing to give my best. Please get in touch with your suggestions: graham@help.kiwi.

Kia ora I'm a proud Dunedin resident just finishing nine years as Dunedin's Mayor. During that time the city has gone from a divided economic struggler, to a growing, buoyant, internationally confident and more inclusive community.

Otago healthcare also faces timely opportunities. A new hospital to provide services equitably and efficiently to all our communities. The opportunity to lift and enhance access to primary level preventative care. It's also time for our whole community to confront the root causes of health issues, like inadequate housing. We can only do that by collaboration between the SDHB, local Councils, primary health providers, government agencies, educators and social service organizations.

I have a record of forging partnerships to get the best community outcomes and address the big challenges. I'm offering my experience and ability to bring people together, to the board of the SDHB.

Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency Electing 4 Board Members Lyndell KELLY

Independent My principal place of residence is in the Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency area.

We have a health system that is far from world standard. Years of penny-pinching have led to a system where only the very ill get what they need. It can take four visits to ED to warrant a CT scan, all the while the cancer grows. Knees have to cripple someone before they are bad enough to be fixed. So the eventual treatment is more expensive and recovery less likely.

Saying no to requests that are granted anywhere else is regarded as frugal but ends up very expensive. Cries for help from staff are ignored leading to demoralization and hopelessness. Complacency leads to a worse normal. It is with passion and frustration that I stand for the SDHB. I bring 37 years of public hospital service to the board. I understand healthcare is a network that needs to be maintained and improved for the good of all of us.

There's a lot that needs fixing in the Southern District. The commissioners have done a sterling job, but is five years without community representation taking its toll? As a practice owner, married to a GP, with previous experience around the SDHB table, and with research interests in governance - especially failure to govern - I can take broad experience and deep knowledge to the SDHB table. The new board will need to challenge the status quo, and advocate to fill the obvious gaps. I can help to do that.

Independent My principal place of residence is in the Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency area.

Tena kotou katoa Ko Jeanette toku ingoa I am a proud kiwi mother of three, a former teacher and trained AOD clinician.

I own and run a small healthcare business in South Dunedin. I am standing for the SDHB because I care about the people in my community.

I will work for free if elected because I see it as vitally important to bring about a culture change in public health.

The Health Platform I stand on is: Prevention, Public Engagement and Transparency. We must have the money to perform the services people need. We must reduce waiting times, and we must create better health outcomes for maori with more maori practices. We must also reduce waste and reduce the hours doctors work. We must have more nurse practitioners.

Ordinary people want- Access to timely and affordable health care.

I will work to bring it.

Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency Electing 4 Board Members Andrew VELMAN My principal place of residence is in the Southern District Health Board - Otago Constituency area. I am also standing for Otago Regional Council Molyneux Constituency.

For the last 15 years I've been living in the constituency area, graduating from Telford Polytechnic in 2005. I moved much further South for a year - to Scott Base, where I was employed by Downer Engineering (TelecomNZ and Science Events support). Antarctica reinforced my belief in the role we have to play in nature: to be a thoughtful guardian, long-term partner who shares environment with others. Life is fragile.

In my councillor's capacity, I will bring diverse and positive approach to the challenging issues we are all facing today: climate change, pollution, economic pressures, conflicting views, political uncertainty. We must make it right for us, for our children and beyond, for nature at large. Otago, South Island, New Zealand, the Earth - is our home. If bees, nature are perfect - why can't we try? Life is good! Be patient, study and go forward!

I am a multigenerational Otago resident Company Director and graduate from Massey University with a Business Degree in Communications Management. I'm a member of the National Party and past Chairman and Treasurer for their Dunedin North Electorate Committee.

The SDHB employs 4,600 great staff trying to deliver $1 billion in health services annually. The SDHB Purpose Statement says it aims to support everyone across our district to live well and access the right care when they need it, by delivering high quality, patient-centred health services.

But is it really?

Babies are being born on the side of the road.

Cancer diagnosis and treatment is inadequate.

Neurosurgery in Dunedin is in jeopardy.

Otago taxpayers deserve better than 3rd world health care. You deserve transparency and a voice.

My vision: Best healthcare, fast.
