Sally CARGILL
It is going to be vital over the next three years to
preserve our community identity as this huge new city
is formed. As your community co−ordinator for almost
20 years and community board member for 12 years, I
ask for your support to help me continue with the
work I have been doing in East Coast Bays since 1991.
Many of you will have attended the hundreds of
community events and activities I have organised and know what a great
sense of community wellbeing these provide. A strong local board with
experienced, passionate and committed people is going to be essential to
ensure what we most value in ECB is maintained and continued.
I work in Browns Bay, am accessible and have the networks to be able to
bring people together to find creative solutions to problems, and I have
the knowledge and the ability to get things done.

Brian CASEY
Shore Voice
Brian, a Browns Bay resident for 11 years, made New
Zealand his home after 35 years in South Africa.
With extensive business experience in both the private
and corporate sector he is an experienced negotiator
getting things done on a win−win basis.
Brian understands and is in tune with different
cultures, and is determined to get long−term value for
residents and ratepayers' hard−earned money.
His priorities are to support local education, simplify the building consent
process, and improve the quality of service from council. A big issue for
Brian is the unfair pressure on retired and elderly residents to sell their
family homes due to never−ending increases in rates and taxes. He also
wants to see common sense and balance applied to environmental issues.

Laurie CONDER
Independent
A North Shore resident for 40 years I have been active
in my Banking career, as well as participating in
community and sports activities. Including being a
member of the Albany Community Board, Business
Mentors NZ, and Enterprise North Shore to assist
business owners grow their business and create
employment. The new Albany Ward involves areas
from Whenuapai to East Coast Bays which are now due for development.
You need a qualified Resource Consent Commissioner, familiar with
Regional and District Plans to safe guard your interests. The new CCO's
and Auckland Council are as yet unproven and could distance essential
services from ratepayers. You will need an independent person to
represent you who will ensure the new Council considers the views of
your Local Board, and makes good decisions with every consideration for
the consequences. I can represent you full time, without any other
employment or business distractions.

David COOPER
Independent
East Coast Bays Community Board chairman for the
past three years, local resident for over 30 years,
family man, and passionate about the Bays. I'm an
experienced infrastructure engineer and offer
knowledge, common sense and integrity to make
sensible things happen, and challenge things that
should not.
The new 'super city' will need representatives of strong character without
preset agendas to ensure: we do actually get some benefits; costs are
controlled; and bureaucracy does not just 'take over.'
Not obligated to any political or campaining groups, I'm a positive and
decisive local person who works hard to make a difference where needed
and stands up for the Bays.
My track record is strong in working with people on worthy causes and I
always strive to ensure that all communities are supported equally with
improvements and enhancements.
Fair, trustworthy, and sincere.

Toby HUTTON
North Now
I am a Field Engineer in the New Zealand Army
Territorial Force and a volunteer at the Museum of
Transport and Technology in Western Springs.
In 2008 I helped stop a Commercial Airport at
Whenuapai from destroying the way of life so many
on the North Shore enjoy.
I'm optimistic and positive for the new local
government structure. It offers a great opportunity for residents and
communities to prosper.
I want to ensure the new local board spends ratepayers' money wisely. It
is critical to ensure this area remains the prestigious and unique place
that it is.
We mustn't create unnecessary bureaucracy or bylaws. Traffic congestion
must be reduced.
We are seeing crime creep into the North Shore and this must be
stopped.

Bob JONES
I am a third generation North Shore resident and have
lived in the East Coast Bays for over 30 years. Currently
living in beautiful Mairangi Bay I wish to see that the
needs of the ratepayers in our electorate are not lost
in the new amalgamation and that the ECB continues
to be the best place to live.
As an independent I pledge to: Welcome input and
comment from ratepayers; Attend all required meetings; Endeavor to
ensure that ratepayers receive best 'value' for all expenditure; Be forward
thinking with an open mind to all matters; Actively debate any matter
that does not seem to be in the best interests of the residents/ratepayers
Employed by a large bank I have considerable business experience and
have travelled extensively.
No personal business interests that could influence my decision making.
This is the time for a new look Council.
Fresh faces, fresh ideas.

Alan MCCULLOCH
Independent
Work life: Commerce Education Building
Family: Shirley, 3 sons, 8 grandchildren
Public Office: Mayor East Coast Bays 3 terms; Harbour
Bridge Authority; Rangitoto College Board; Auckland
Regional Authority etc.
I will always remember whose money I am spending
and look for ways of getting more done for less.
I will work to rebuild the community spirit and the community pride
which in time past was a huge feature of East Coast Bays. I look to
getting Local Council services back in Browns Bay; the long planned head
on Murrays Bay wharf. Our clubs, churches, sports groups need to build
their memberships and gather in our now significant immigrant groups.
Our shopping centres need style and grace so we use them as our first
choice. How about a yearly Jazz festival and. . .
Together we can.

Proudly Independent
Lifelong Bays resident, current councillor, deputy
mayor, and Justice of the Peace, Julia believes her first
responsibility is to ensure local rates are spent in the
local community, and that the local board secures the
powers and resources to preserve and enhance our
unique Bays lifestyle.

issues on behalf of residents, has served on many community groups and
is always available to local people when they need help and advice.
Married with two sons, and a part−time teacher at Northcross

parkland, quality local employment, an efficient roading network with
frequent, affordable public transport and protecting our people from
excessive 'super city' rates and water charges.
If you believe in managing growth and change while preserving
everything that's special, elect Julia.

Dean REYNOLDS
Shore Voice
Dean's family has lived on the Shore since 1931. A
Chartered Accountant, today he operates a grass−
roots enterprise: a North Shore lawn−mowing and
gardening franchise. He is also active in the Long Bay
− Okura Great Park Society, and the Torbay Historical
Society.
Dean first became involved in local government in
1987 literally at grassroots level. As spokesman for the Toxins Action
Group, he campaigned for councils to replace pesticides with hot water
to control roadside weeds. North Shore made history in 1993 as the first
city anywhere to adopt the hot−water method. Now it's used extensively
around the world.
Dean believes the most important role of a local board member under
the new system will be to build a sense of empowerment.

to protect the things they value." www.shorevoice.org.nz

representing the Albany and East Coast Bays
communities. She is a local resident with education
and sporting links to the Bays.
She understands how council decisions affect families,
ratepayers and businesses − and as an accountant, she
has the necessary financial and analytical skills to

migrants, and understands the challenges involved in providing adequate
infrastructure alongside new development. As a parent, she recognises
the value of our parks, sports facilities, libraries, clean beaches and safe
streets.
Growth and expansion should not be at the expense of our environment
or quality of life for our families. Council must strive to operate in a
transparent, inclusive and accountable manner.
