As your councillor for the past six years, I’ve worked hard to deliver critical investment into core infrastructure, protect and restore our harbour, future-proof Porirua against the climate crisis, and balance council’s budget. We’ve made great progress – but there’s more work to do.

Porirua can be an affordable, safe, and rewarding place to live, where communities flourish and our natural environment thrives. I have the knowledge, experience and drive to get us there, but I need your support to do so.

I’m standing for re-election so I can bring a responsible and future-focused approach to the council table.

My main priorities are:

• Strategic investment in core infrastructure
• Future-focused planning to improve resilience and combat the climate crisis
• Accelerating the restoration of our harbour
• Accessible, family-friendly streets and village environments
• Defending core council services such as libraries, pools and parks
• Balancing council’s budget to deliver sustainable rates and long-term savings

If you'd like to support me, you can help by volunteering to doorknock or deliver leaflets, or you can make a donation. Most importantly, vote 1 Josh Trlin for Pāuatahanui General Ward.
