John Gillon

As Chair of the Kaipātiki Local Board, I’ve led a cohesive, stable and strong board.

I’ve opened workshops to the public, held Council/AT to account, axed ratepayer-funded meals, and challenged Council’s crazy proposals (such as removing rubbish bins, downgrading roads to loose chipseal, selling parkland).

I’ve helped thousands of people with local issues; kept the community informed about council projects; and represented the public at hearings on developments that breach zoning rules.

Our Shore Action team has supersized investment into environment and pest-free initiatives; upgraded many bush tracks (including Kauri Glen treetop bridge); updated playgrounds and installed shadesails to protect Tamariki; invested in community development, sport, events, art, youth, and more.

I have 18 years governance experience on various boards, including Auckland Kindergarten and Beach Haven Primary BOT, and am admin of three Facebook groups connecting 60,000+ members of the community.

Please support the Shore Action Team.
