Prashant Belwalker

I'm standing for Flat Bush to help our fast-growing, diverse community thrive as a connected, safe, and future-ready place to live. With over 20 years in community development, stakeholder engagement, and governance, I’ve worked alongside iwi, service providers, and local organisations to deliver practical, people-focused results. As President of the Migrant Heritage Charitable Trust and Garje Marathi NZ, and through decades of involvement in multicultural sport, youth mentoring, and community radio, I’ve built bridges across cultures. My approach is grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, equity, and inclusive collaboration. My priorities are clear: safer streets, vibrant public spaces, transport and infrastructure that keep pace with growth, and greater opportunities for youth and seniors. I’ll advocate for transparent, value-for-money decisions and champion respectful, solutions-focused leadership. Flat Bush has potential. Together, we can shape a resilient, welcoming community where families succeed and diversity is celebrated.
