Waikanae Ward candidate Martin Frauenstein

“Residing in Raumati, a local business owner, and regular golfer in Waikanae, I believe KCDC requires refocusing on the issues that matter most to our community.

“My background in business process improvement and enterprise system design, spanning both public and private sectors, has sharpened my focus on reducing bureaucratic waste of any kind, be that time, effort, money, or resources.

Council should prioritise delivering quality services to ratepayers, guided by clear understanding, foresight, and fiscal discipline. We need a contestable, evidence-based approach to policy, with community needs at its core.

‘Council needs to return to its core business, being financially responsible, supporting local businesses, protecting and improving our environment, staying engaged with the people it serves.Your vote helps us deliver a transparent, common sense council.”
