Election of Mayor

Gary HopeGary Hope

Gisborne is a great place to raise our family of four daughters.

We need to compliment our vibrant city with cultural and recreational opportunities to attract more people, create more employment and bring our young people back.

I believe we need to attract new industries and help grow those already here through a positive "CAN DO" council.

Raising rates every year is unsustainable and unaffordable for many. I plan to lower rates by reducing costs and growing our population.

I'm an outspoken and experienced Councillor with a degree in finance who's not afraid to ask the hard questions, like why commit to a new wastewater plant without first securing government funding?

I have strong leadership skills to unite and guide Council as Mayor into a bright future of hope. We need some fresh councillors and a better focus. I really hope for a change this time around.

Election of 8 councillors for the Gisborne ward  

Nona AstonNona Aston

It has been a privilege working with the Council of Social Services, neighbourhoods, individuals, and other committees and organisations to help establish relationships and networks to enable a closer working relationship with Council, to work towards a more accessible, safe, cohesive, community.

Much has been done to give voice to aged, disability and youth perspectives, but there is much more to be done to truly integrate them into decision making and planning the future of our region. I believe that working together works, and to survive, all aspects of the community must work and plan together to make our region strong and sustainable.

I thank you for your support in the past and ask that you once again allow me to represent you over the next three years. My promise as always is to "work for you in the community".

Helping to shape Gisborne's future is ultimately the most important thing you can do as a citizen. And if you take the job seriously and work hard at it − as I do − then you really can influence things for the better.

Not just talk about it, but do it.  It is not easy to balance current and future needs against the very real pain felt by ratepayers. I like to think of myself as honest, thoughtful and fair − and those qualities are the absolute basics when it comes to decision−making. I don't just say things, I think about things and try to do them better and cheaper.

So far, voters have shown confidence in my judgement and my willingness to work hard on their behalf. I appreciate that. If you're prepared to vote for me, I'm prepared to continue putting heart and soul into the job.

Something exciting happens when people come together around the hopes they hold in common.

Whether we are rich or poor, young or old, whether we live in Kaiti or Wainui, Whataupoko or Whatatutu, we seem ready to take this community in a new direction. All of us, from every part of the region, are keen to live in a vibrant, healthy and strong community and we need leaders with a track record of bringing about positive change.

My priority has always been including people most affected by decisions in the decision−making. I will vote for rates to be limited to inflation, support efforts to bring new skills and investment into the region and not compromise our natural environment, local culture and caring community.

The world is searching for examples of sustainable community − I believe with the right leadership on Council we will have something very special to offer.

"I serve on the Environment and Policy Committee contributing to planning and representation of our shared visions for the future. I hope to continue to serve as a councillor, not only for our current needs but providing significant input into a future legacy we will all be proud to leave our children."

Alan DavidsonGisborne

With such a multicultural population spread, the district requires an experienced Councillor who is not going to focus his attention only on one sector.

The "kitchen table concerns" of a diverse community must never be forgotten by Council. Affordability of rates, employment growth, and providing for our community's health and well being, has been and will always remain a priority of mine.

As President of the Gisborne YMCA I have been proud to lead a team which has focused on providing much needed social amenities and community services within our district. Early Childcare, the Gymnasiums, and programmes for the "not so young" are but a few examples of services that my team have provided.

These factors I believe highlight my commitment to our district. In these difficult times a community has a right to demand the experience and leadership which I know I can continue to provide.

I was elected to Council three years ago and am a member of a number of Committees − Finance and Administration, Operations, Community Development (Deputy Chairperson), and Regional Transport.

I am married to Pamela. We have lived in Gisborne for 42 years. I went to Mangapapa Primary School, Gisborne Intermediate and Gisborne Boys' High. Our daughters Veronica and Rosemary attended Te Wharau, Ilminister and Gisborne Girls' High.

I'm standing for the Council elections because I possess the skills and qualities to represent our community well. I'm a good communicator, active listener and team player. I have proven skills in governance through time spent on Sport and Recreation NZ (SPARC), Netball New Zealand and the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA) Council tables.

My involvement with local organisations ie: Tairawhiti Polytechnic, Gisborne of Chamber of Commerce, GGHS BOT, Women's Institute, Maori Women's Welfare League, Chelsea Hospital, Maori Business Network and Tai Rawhiti Ventures have allowed me to develop and see things from different perspectives.

When asked what would I support and advocate for if elected, the community or economic drivers? 'One cannot survive without the other, a healthy community requires a resilient economy, and a robust economy needs people to flourish'. I welcome the opportunity to work hard for my community.

Anne PardoeGisborne
Anne Pardoe

A straight−shooter who gets things done! My career as a teacher taught me to value people and that life is more about giving than receiving.

Accordingly, I attribute my success in Real Estate to assisting people in realising their goals and in so doing I also achieved my own. To date my contributions to society include community projects as a member of Rotary, sport coaching, establishing Quest Trust and starting

Quest House − a Child Care Centre for school students and staff. Recently as President of the Chamber of Commerce for four years I gained a real appreciation and interest in Council affairs.

Supported by my husband Lance and three of our four children who live in Gisborne, I am keen to be on council and involved in community decisions that will promote our district.

Now, I need your vote to enable my experience and knowledge to work for you.

Atareta PoanangaGisborne
Atareta Poananga

My name is Atareta Poananga and I am an experienced councillor, having served three terms.

During my time with the Council I have advocated for reform and change for those whose voices often don't get heard. As a lawyer specializing in Treaty of Waitangi claims I meet many whanau in this region and am aware of the needs of our people.

I believe that economic growth and sustainability is one of the key issues − as a councillor I will be lobbying for the sale of the Tauwhareparae Farms, which will create jobs and better the people's and the council's economic position. I will also continue to advocate for a fairer rating system, which addresses people's financial difficulties.

As a councillor I have been, and will continue to be, a strong voice for the rights of Maori, which affirms and strengthens the relationship between tangata whenua and the wider community.

Ko Atareta Poananga ahau, he kaunihera toa ahau, e iwa tau ahau e mahi ana i tenei mahi.

Mai rano ahau e kokiri ana mo ratou kihai e rangona o ratou reo. He roia ahau e mahi ana i nga mahi Tiriti. He maha oku hui me nga whanau o tenei rohe kei te marama ahau ki nga hiahia o te iwi.

Hei taaku ko tetahi o nga tino kaupapa kia whai rawa tuturu tatou – ka tohetohe ahau kia hokona nga paamu i Tauwhareparae kia whiwhi mahi te iwi hei oranga a kia whai putea ano te Kaunihera. Ka aki tonu ahau kia totika ake nga raeti kia ngawari atu nga pehitanga i runga i te iwi.

Ka whawhai tonu au mo nga painga mo te iwi Maori, kia orite ai te whanaungatanga i waenga i a tatou me te katoa.

Clare Radomske

Clare "rate buster" Radomske. Born in Vancouver Canada, NZ resident last 30 years, from a family of nine, married to Jan, a nurse at TDH, father of two and grandpa for eight. Worked in forestry, community employment and education. Love Gisborne and want to make it better.

Key issues are debt levels and unsustainable spending increases. Over the last three years rates have gone up by 25%. Do you feel any better from these increases in spending? Have services improved?

Did you know that ratepayer debt was 22 million last year, this year is 37 million, and next year will be 49 million? And interest payments are 30 million over the next 10 years. Profit from owning the farm is just 1% before tax over the last 10 years.

I want to sort out this mess. I support selling the farm, paying down debt and reducing rates to affordable levels.

My name is Fiona Ratapu−Rodden.

Father (Rongomaiwahine) Mother Te ai Tanga a Mahaki

My career started in the military for 8 years. Sent to Singapore I married and returned to Gisborne and had 3 children. I am the great great grandchild of Col Thomas Porter who was the mayor of Gisborne. I have had experience in teaching and nursing training, became the Registrar of Electors for Napier/Tukituki, back to Gisborne, taking a position as the Funding/Fieldworker for Tairawhiti Age Concern.

My challenge is, do you need someone who can make a difference to this council. My expectation is not about projects although they are important, my priority tis the people, tis the people, tis the people. When the people from all walks of life are supported, the city is empowered to make excellent decisions for our future.

Murray RobertsonGisborne

I believe in Gisborne and the people in it!

I've lived here for most of my 57 years, broadcasting local radio news, hosting sport on radio and serving this community as a surf lifeguard. It's a special place to live and I'm at a stage in my life now where I know I can add real benefit to the decision making process at Council and make it even more special.

I have a well founded understanding of what's needed to be an effective Councillor. I'm a communicator by trade, a strength that would make me a proactive and capable councillor. I would embrace the challenges of being a Councillor, if you consider I'm worthy of your vote.

I guarantee to provide a full focus role, ensuring we get the best value for our ratepayer dollar and provide q high level of advocacy for ratepayer concerns.

Sincerely, Murray Robertson.

I have a passion for Gisborne and its people!

My husband, Deon, and I have two lovely sons who were born here. Before moving to Gisborne 9 years ago, I obtained my Masters Degree (M.Sc) in Cardiovascular Physiology and focussed on a career in academics. After that, I concentrated on raising my sons, and since 2008 I have run a successful medical recruitment business, whilst being actively involved in the community.

I am confident that I have the skills to be the voice for the Gisborne community and bring youth, energy and more female representation to the Council. Just what we need! I have a soft spot for our older citizens and we need to ensure a better quality of life for these valued members of our society. I am an open−minded, enthusiastic team player with a can−do attitude.

I have lived in Gisborne most of my life and love this place. Running a pharmacy and being involved in different water sports has made me realise what a wonderful area this is. I believe the future of this district is bright and I hope my three sons and other young people choose Gisborne to bring up their families.

Young people are more mobile now and Council needs to make sure the city and region is attractive for them with good infrastructure, vibrant industry and recreational opportunities. To do so increases the inflow of skilled and entrepreneurial migrants as well as retaining our children and grandchildren.

There needs to be a balance between keeping rates affordable while still investing in the future. City rates have risen unsustainably high due to the wastewater treatment plant and in this tough financial climate, the balance suggests increased prudence of Council spending.

Election of 1 councillor for the Taruheru-Patutahi Ward  

Roger HaismanRoger Haisman

Lorraine and I now live on the Flats at Makauri. After spending three terms representing the Waikohu Ward, I have decided to stand for Taruheru−Patutahi where we now live.

The three terms served on council have given me a sound understanding of how Council operates and how our district economy functions, and what the real needs of our areas are. In the rural areas it is roads, on the Poverty Bay Flats it is flood protection, water and roads. In the city and townships it is community facilities, water supply and waste disposal.

My previous council committee positions have been Community Development, Environment and Planning, Operations, Finance, Hearings Deputy Chair, Waste Water Management, Regional Land Transport,

Waipaoa Flood Control Review Steering Committee. I believe my reputation for common sense decision making and being prepared to stand up for what I believe is right are qualities that are needed on Council.

I am 50, married with an adult family that we raised at Makauri where I have lived for 21 years. My family originates from Patutahi and Makaraka, where I also operate our business. Having a good knowledge of the ward and being a self−employed Finance Company and Motor Vehicle Dealer Manager, I'm ideally placed to devote the time required to the role.

I was Chairman of a State Owned Enterprise for 2 years and have been a councillor of NZ Fish and Game for 14 years. I have a sound understanding of Governance. I aim to listen to your concerns and am keen to advocate a ground−up review of council's budget. Let's keep the 'musts' and balance the 'wants' making rates sustainable, while balancing the needs of our rural and city communities. Let's get back to the basics and Council's core roles.

Election of 1 councillor for the Waiapu ward 

Bill BurdettBill Burdett

Hi/Kia Ora te Whanau. My name is Bill Burdett, I am a fourth term councilor representing the Waiapu ward. From Anaura in the south to Ruatoria including the Mata Puketoro Ihungia back country. I live at Mangaharea just east of Ruatoria. I take seriously the challenges facing council both in the City and Rural areas; especially the coast, particularly within the Waiapu and Matakaoa wards. Roading, the maintenance of roading, good access at all times, responses to the requests of the ommunities, stormwater, waste water, solid waste (rubbish), transfer stations, and landfill servicing is critical to the wellbeing of all communities.

Ruatoria needs protection from the Waiapu River, Tokomaru Bay wants

the wharf made safe for future generations; Te Puia Springs an upgraded water supply, Waipiro public toilets. The current level of rates are no longer affordable. I seek a further term to address all of the above issues.

In offering myself for a fourth term the primary considerations are: Am I achieving? Am I motivated to continue?

I am a councillor who understands the consequence of ever increasing costs and will consistently vote accordingly.

I have through innovative, lateral thinking, initiated capital savings of tens of millions of dollars. I have independently proposed and developed policy that will benefit the region. I have independently proposed and developed concepts that will benefit the region.

As chairman of operations committee, adding priority focus on costs created substantial savings with innovative tender processes.

Achievement is the greatest motivator and as one of the two youngest councillors, have the energy and motivation to offer myself for another term. I am able to organize workloads outside council not to compromise the effort required.

My motivation and achievement earns your support with confidence.
