Waitaki District CouncilMayoraltyElecting 1 Mayor

Katrina HAZELHURSTIndependent

My principal place of residence is in the WaitakiDistrict Council area.

Four key changes.Greater social responsibility. A caring councilmust protect its most vulnerable citizens and havesupport mechanisms in place. We need to discuss

the issues of poverty, addiction, crime, housing affordability anddepression and find ways to help those affected.Greater transparency and public engagement. We need to behonest even when we get it wrong and we need to place a highimportance on public inclusion and communication.Back to basics. Core services are still important to ratepayers anda functional, clean, safe and green Waitaki district holdsbenefits for tourism as well as locals.Streamline customer service. Council's role is to assist ratepayersand guide them through the maze of regulatory restrictions tohelp achieve their aims. We need improvement on this as thereis still confusion between staff and ratepayers on issues which isdistressing to both.

Gary KIRCHERWorking For Waitaki

My principal place of residence is in the WaitakiDistrict Council area.

Two terms on, and Waitaki is going well. Theteam approach that our Councillors and I havetaken, and the role we've adopted as enablers ofour community, has resulted in some important

advances across Waitaki with some of the lowest rate increasesin NZ. My drive is to create a district which gives ourcommunity's children and grandchildren opportunities -opportunities to enjoy an excellent lifestyle, to learn, and toearn. And that's about making Waitaki even more attractive. I want to keep doing my bit to build on what we have and tomake it even better. Further roading improvements, theOmarama & Otematata community plans, Oamaru harbour, andCBD revitalisation are all key projects I want us to progress overthe coming three years.Kerry and I appreciate the opportunity we have been given toserve the community, and are grateful the excellent supportwe've received. Thank you.

Jim HOPKINS


Things are changing. Our economy's slowing.Times are getting tougher. I think that meansCouncil focussing on affordability, not looseningthe purse strings. We owe it to ratepayers. People

must pay Rates. Like taxes, they're compulsory. Rates fundessential things that underpin our modern lives: clean water,stormwater and sewage systems, roads, footpaths and planning.Rates fund good things like parks and libraries and supportrecycling. But rates can be wasted on 'nice to have' things.Councillors must make wise choices. I believe experience mattersthere. So I offer you my experience and my energy and 100%commitment to essential services and getting good things done,if they're affordable. We spend other people's money, whichthey've had to pay, so we must protect it and save every dollarpossible. Thanks for reading this. If you'd like share ideas, pleasecall me:- 434 9410 or 021 114 3189. Happy to talk.

Greetings ratepayers, farmers, visitors and allcitizens in Waitaki. My name is (wee) Jock Howieand I have been a resident and property ownerhere in North Otago for 20 years and came here

to enjoy its peace and quiet. My travels from my native Scotlandhave seen me travel the length and breadth of New Zealand butI consider all of Otago to be the best place to live, work andvisit. Councils aim should be to make Waitaki an enjoyable placeto all folk's visitors, locals and children and remain affordable,clean and green while promoting the use of local products,operators, shops, farmers and to do so to the maximumpossible.Waitaki District Council should also use its own entitiesworkforce and maintain an economic use of the ratepayer'sfunds and to strip bare any other any other grand projectswhich contribute little to locals.

I have experience in coachingand the administration of school rugby, athletics and softball.The Waitaki District has much to offer in the tourism andagriculture sectors. Prudent development, along withsupporting what has already been done, is necessary if thedistrict is to continue to develop further. The Alps to OceanTrail, Geopark, and Harbour area development are cases inpoint.As a candidate I would bring fresh support to council initiatives.I have no fixed agendas and an open mind about the issuesfaced by the Waitaki District.

Our eyes met across the bonnet of his father's1979 Ford Falcon. I found my way to Dunback inthe classic story of Townie Girl Meets CountryBoy. In the 25 years since, we've sold the farm in

I've been a stay-at-home mum,worked for Access Healthcare, knocked on your door for Census,and was a Community Coordinator for Plunket. I'm on ourPalmerston & Waihemo A and P committee, treasurer of OtagoField Days, and am part-time administrator for SGS Laboratoriesat Macraes. I'm enthusiastic about our area, but we need toadvocate more firmly for our region. Palmerston is situated onSH1 and is a major gateway to Central - we should be pumping!With energetic leadership and sound investment, we CAN makethe Waihemo ward a destination in its' own right.

Climate-elder, independent.Many of our children and grandchildren knowthat our climate crisis threatens their lives. As apassionate Cantabrian, grandad, PhD scientist,

engineer and climate-elder I care about their future. So I willprioritise clean, safe drinking water, a stable climate,swimmable rivers and an ecologically and economically resilientenvironment over short term profits from pollution whichcreates unforgiveable and unacceptable costs for futuregenerations. I'm active on three water management committees,representing the voice of this community. I understand thescience of climate change and its serious social, environmental,cultural and economic impacts. I've learned what we must dobefore it's too late. With the return of democracy to ECan, the true interests of ourcommunities can now be served. With your vote and support, Ican help lead this transformation to restore our province andcreate a sustainable future we can be proud of.

My life has been as a primary producer living and working withthe natural environment.The 2019 elections are the first time in 11 years that you, thevoter, have the opportunity to choose your electedrepresentative.In what has been a time of bogus democracy, impairment hasbeen done to the concept of 'governance for the people by thepeople'. Large bureaucracies, with huge rate rises andcentralised power, have tainted the notion of local solutions tolocal issues.I have the knowledge and experience to correct that damage.Councils, are here to serve the constituents, not rule as a giantcentral administration controlling with rules regulation andthreats.Every new rule is a loss of someone's liberty.I support freedom, liberty and choice.

I am a 46-year-old New Zealand-born scientistwith 17 years' experience in geochemistry,forensic science, environmental analyticalchemistry, and biomedical science.

In 1995, scientists warned of the risk of a large earthquake inChristchurch, yet their warning was not acted on. Now, over-reliance on large-scale dairying has resulted in nitrate-contaminated water, presenting a health risk to Cantabrians,yet local government response has been slow. This disconnectbetween science and local governance has serious consequencesfor our people and environment.In South Canterbury, climate change means loss of snow andglaciers, with sea level rise impacting our coastal towns.However, warmer temperatures will increase the growingseason, providing opportunities for new crops.Climate change is both a risk and an opportunity. I am standingto advocate for people and environment before profit, and fordevelopment of a resilient and sustainable infrastructure andeconomy in Canterbury.

On joining the OLT board 3 years ago I was veryimpressed with how efficiently and effectivelymanagement were handling the everyday affairsof the Trust as well as refurbishing rooms from

cash flow while repaying debt on a regular basis.Three years ago my interest was in the accommodation side ofthe Trust's activity and that is still my reason for offering myname in the coming election.It is still my belief that Oamaru is a great venue for mediumsized conferencing during the off peak tourist season but thatwould require additional quality accommodation.The Brydone and North Star belong to our community, both areprofitable with room to expand and potential to do evenbetter. If elected I will be committed to looking at practicaloptions that maximise the benefits that can accrue from acutting edge operation.

Denise MCMILLAN


I am seeking re-election as a Board member forthe Oamaru Licensing Trust on which I've servedfor two terms with the last as the Vice-Chairperson. If re-elected I will continue to

support the positive progress the Trust is making in ourcommunity through upgrading its community owned facilitiesand the allocation of sponsorship and grants for many worthyrecipients and projects in our community. During my time on the board the Brydone Hotel has begun itsrefurbishment process with room upgrades, new water andheating systems, security and computer system upgrades, as wellas continuing to enhance other assets. I am honest and believegood communication and transparency with the community isessential in this role. I would enjoy the opportunity to continuein my role on the Oamaru Licensing Trust Board.

I know the questionsto ask and am not afraid to ask them. I will strongly advocate that access to cancer treatments andmental health services be improved, waiting times for electivesurgeries be reduced, and our health professionals beadequately resourced.As a father of sons aged 13 and 3, I know the anguish when afamily member requires serious medical treatment.

I have worked as an emergency doctor inDunedin for 26 years. I am aware of theimportant health issues, locally and nationally,and 100% committed to the public system. GPs

are busy and require co-payments. Hospitals are full to bursting.Scans, surgery and investigations are subject to delay orcancellation. I will advocate for better, faster health services andmodern facilities for patients and families across the entireSouthern region. Greatest SDHB expenditure is on staff. All stafffrom cleaners and orderlies to doctors, nurses, technicians andmidwives should be recognised for their hard work andsupported to improve care. Involvement of all communities isalso key. Board meetings and business should almost all be opento the public. This new Board, with democratically elected andaccountable members, will govern healthcare for the next threeyears. Necessary improvements in care cannot be put off untilthe new hospital opens.

Conflict of Interest StatementAt the time of submitting my nomination for the election to theSouthern District Health Board I wish to declare all possibleconflicts of interest.(a) I am Director of Emergency Medicine for the AustralasianCollege. It is my responsibility to advocate for staffing andfacilities at the level sufficient to meet the recommendedstandards of this professional body.(b) As Vice President of the Otago branch of the Association forSalaried Medical Specialists I represent members (salaried seniordoctors and dentists employed in the region including by SDHB)on matters concerning their terms and conditions.

My personal commitment to wellness, my pastgovernance experience and my ability to think globally andapply 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 homewill save us all millions - that can then be re-invested in theaccessible acute care which our region deserves.With so many challenges facing the SDHB, I have decided tostand just for the health of it. The DHB needs help and I amwilling to give my best. Please get in touch with yoursuggestions: [email protected].

Conflict of Interest StatementTo the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no conflicts ofinterest with the Southern District Health Board (SDHB) at thedate of my notice of consent to being nominated as a candidatefor membership of the board of the SDHB, and I do not believethat any such conflicts of interest are likely to arise in future.

We have a health system that is far from worldstandard. Years of penny-pinching have led to asystem where only the very ill get what theyneed. It can take four visits to ED to warrant a CT

scan, all the while the cancer grows. Knees have to cripplesomeone before they are bad enough to be fixed. So theeventual treatment is more expensive and recovery less likely.Saying no to requests that are granted anywhere else isregarded as frugal but ends up very expensive. Cries for helpfrom staff are ignored leading to demoralization andhopelessness. Complacency leads to a worse normal. It is withpassion and frustration that I stand for the SDHB. I bring 37years of public hospital service to the board. I understandhealthcare is a network that needs to be maintained andimproved for the good of all of us.

Conflict of Interest StatementI have the following current conflicts of interest with theSouthern District Health Board (SDHB).a) I am a senior employee of the SDHBb) I am involved in an Oncology job size and service size exercisewith the SDHBc) As a result of this I may be involved in contract negotiationswith the SDHB in futureTo the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no otherconflicts of interest with the SDHB at the date of my notice ofconsent to being nominated as a candidate for membership ofthe board of the SDHB.I do not believe that any conflicts of interest are likely to arise infuture, other than the continuation of the conflicts of intereststated above.

As a practice owner,married to a GP, with previous experience around the SDHBtable, and with research interests in governance - especiallyfailure to govern - I can take broad experience and deepknowledge to the SDHB table. The new board will need tochallenge the status quo, and advocate to fill the obvious gaps. Ican help to do that.
