Independent candidates go<br />
head to head in by-election<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
Dawn Sutton <br />
Scott Winter<br />
A CHURCH <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
Teddington resident are vying<br />
for a position on the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board.<br />
Dawn Sutton and Scott Winter<br />
will both run as independents<br />
in a by-election to fill the Mt<br />
Herbert Community Subdivision<br />
seat on February 18.<br />
An extraordinary vacancy<br />
arose for one of two Mt Herbert<br />
Community Subdivision seats<br />
after it failed to attract enough<br />
candidates in October’s elections.<br />
Ms Sutton, of Church <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
wants to help deliver what people<br />
in the area want and need – in<br />
particular, roading and maintaining<br />
and improving councilowned<br />
properties and facilities.<br />
The registered nurse of almost<br />
40 years believes her people<br />
skills and familiarity with a busy<br />
lifestyle gives her the experience<br />
required to fill the role.<br />
“I like busy. It keeps me interested<br />
and I like being part of the<br />
community, I always have.”<br />
Mr Winter, of Teddington,<br />
said he put his hand up because<br />
he was sick of “sitting on the<br />
sidelines” looking in on the communities’<br />
issues.<br />
The building company owner<br />
said he wants to tackle roading<br />
maintenance, infrastructure and<br />
bringing public amenities up to<br />
scratch at places like wharves<br />
and the Godley House site.<br />
Low pay has been cited<br />
as one of the reasons five<br />
former board members<br />
chose not to stand after<br />
the last term.<br />
Community board<br />
members receive $9864<br />
and the chairperson<br />
$19,729. As members<br />
work about 20 hours a<br />
week, they would receive<br />
roughly $120 a week after<br />
tax.<br />
However, both Ms Sutton and<br />
Mr Winter said pay did not factor<br />
into their decision to run for<br />
the position.<br />
Said Mr Winter: “If 20 hours<br />
is what it takes to speak on behalf<br />
of the people and mediate with<br />

the council, that’s what I’ll put<br />
in.”<br />
Voting will open on <strong>January</strong><br />
27 and close at noon on February<br />
18. A first past the post electoral<br />
system will be used to determine<br />
the successful candidate.<br />
Residents within the subdivision<br />
area who are not on the<br />
electoral roll can enrol by phoning<br />
<strong>08</strong>00 36 76 56, visiting www.<br />
vote.nz or obtaining enrolment<br />
forms at post shops or city<br />
council libraries up until 4pm on<br />
February 17.<br />

enrolments, including how<br />
to cast a special vote, phone<br />

for making<br />
popular surf<br />
craft-like skis<br />
