Working for our future
My priorities are making sure we seize the enormous opportunities created by the earthquakes to reinvent our city and define our own future.
Our long term future depends on the people who decide to make this place their home: those of us who have decided to stay, those who have come here to work and decide to remain, and our children and grandchildren who decide that the new Christchurch is a place where it is now possible to enjoy the best of all possible worlds.
To make this a reality, we need to ensure that we have a diverse economy that generates quality jobs, housing that is affordable and an environment that is unbeatable.
