“After two terms as Ward Councillor for Paraparaumu, I’m ready to lead as Mayor – with proven experience in governance, fiscal responsibility, and delivering results.
“I’ve championed health services, housing, economic resilience, and sustainability while fighting unfair rates rises and decisions like the Gateway.
“As Mayor, I’ll push for: A Unitary Council to streamline services and cut waste; Fairer rating systems and developing alternative revenue to ease the rate burden on households; Advocacy for local health facilities and services, schools, and transport links to Wellington Hospital; Deeper partnerships with iwi and hapū to honour Te Tiriti and shared goals.
My business background and hands-on leadership ensure accountability, not empty promises. I’ll keep listening, prioritising your needs, and ensuring Kāpiti thrives, not just survives. Vote Halliday #1 for Mayor. A leader who gets things done. Thank-you for your consideration. Ngā mihi, Martin Halliday. For further information: web www.martinhalliday.co.nz Email: [email protected]
