Redesigned Three Waters Reform

Jon Mitchell Age: 58 Occupation: Director, board chair, board member

I bring experience that our communities and council sorely need: fi ve decades of knowledge of the district and its people; over 30 years in leadership roles; 25 years in local government, community/ economic development, and disaster management; 12 years private and public sector governance, and; 10 years delivering collaborative crisis leadership training. Queenstown Lakes and its council are facing multiple crises. I am here to help lead our communities to a more sustainable and resilient future. Election promises: 1. Thriving communities put fi rst in all decision-making 2. QLDC’s credibility and trust restored 3. QLDC budgets and priorities reviewed for ratepayers to afford 4. Increased, streamlined community grants 5. A diversifi ed, sustainable, resilient economy 6. Affordable housing fast-tracked, worker accommodation crisis solved 7. Innovative public and active transport delivered 8. Council in control of Queenstown Airport Corporation 9. Redesigned Three Waters Reform 10. Bottom line: Sustainably managed growth!

People should vote for me because I am an independent candidate and my only vested interest is as a community member. • BUSINESS - community and business at the centre of our decision-making so we can protect the integrity of our environment. • ACCOUNTABILITY AND

TRANSPARENCY - I am entirely committed to accountability and transparency to restore public trust. • STAFFING ISSUES - our staffi ng issues can be alleviated by advocating for some required skills to have less bureaucracy.

However, the latest staffi ng issues are exacerbated by housing issues. • HOUSING - QLDC should partner with other organisations in the community to create a more sustainable and inclusive housing market. • TRANSPORT AND ROADING - a robust public transport that is accessible, reliable and effi cient. Public transport that is not an alternative means of transport but a purposefully built primary means of transport. This also ties in with our climate change responsibility. • EMERGING FROM COVID PLAN - We should implement a plan to aid our businesses in regaining full operating capacity. • ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION - invest in education.

Encourage fi lms and television.
