Fiona Lai

Community is at my heart. As your board deputy chair, I’ve worked to amplify voices and deliver real results; securing shade sails for playgrounds, benches in parks, reducing alcohol harm, and advocating for upgrades like the Dominion/Denbigh roundabout and weekly rubbish collection.

As a pharmacist, I bring frontline insight to governance. I co-founded ARK (Acts of Roskill Kindness), which stepped up during the Anniversary and Easter floods; delivering urgent medical care, food, shelter, and coordination with Council and community.

I’ll continue to push for safe, vibrant neighbourhoods, better infrastructure, protection of green spaces, cultural diversity, connected communities, and value for money from our rates. I’m committed to health, equity, and inclusion in every decision.

Puketāpapa is home; where my husband and I are raising our daughter. I’m a proud Roskill schools graduate, serve on the Roskill Primary Board, and was a church youth leader.
