Cr Christine Fletcher

I bring strong experience of government, having served as MP, Minister Local Government, Mayor Auckland City and now Auckland Councillor. Coming from the private sector, working in manufacturing I know how to get things done. I’m proud to have led transformative projects like Britomart and the opening-up of Auckland’s waterfront.

This term, I oversaw the establishment of the Future Fund, securing Auckland’s long-term financial resilience.  I’m deeply concerned that Council has not pushed hard enough in negotiations with Central Government—especially around PC78, the RMA and protection of Auckland’s built character. I also believe the continuing rising costs of running Council places an unsustainable burden on ratepayers.

I’m passionate about Auckland’s parks, harbours, heritage, and inclusive communities.  I’m a founding Trustee of the Motutapu Restoration Trust and patron Auckland Special Olympics.

I seek your support to serve Auckland with commonsense not ideology.
