Tonchi Begovich is a current member of the Waikanae Community Board, standing for re-election.
“My family have lived in Waikanae for 13 years. I work for a housing company with a specific focus on delivering high performing affordable homes, I also co-own and operate a local Waikanae residential building business.”
Mr Begovich says among issues he would tackle is realising a proper Waikanae library. “I am part of the Library Advisory Group, rejuvenating Waikanae Park which has significant investment in the next triennium, establishing a better beach community hall and ensuring other community halls get into long term funding plans for significant upgrade/replacement.
He says Waikanae contributes substantially to rates revenue annually and he will advocate for the right level of community services reinvestment we deserve with affordable, fair, equitable annual rates contributions especially fixed-income households.
“With two trienniums on the board, I stand again as a realist understanding where I can tangibly influence making a difference to protect Waikanae’s distinctive character.”
