VOTE #1 Geordie Rogers Pukehīnau / Lambton

Kia ora! I’m running for the Pukehīnau/Lambton Ward to make housing more affordable and our city more vibrant.

Wellingtonians have told me loud and clear that they want a city that’s affordable, vibrant, safe, and easy to move around. I’m ready to deliver on that vision and build a city where everyone can thrive.

We can’t fix Wellington by going back to the way things were. Our city can have more affordable housing, fast and frequent public transport, resilient public infrastructure, and an inner city everyone can enjoy.

In my first year as your Councillor I’ve secured 183 affordable homes, with 500 more on the way; tripled investment in our critical water infrastructure; and decarbonised our pools to save the climate - and ratepayers $10 million.

This is just the beginning. With your support I will work tirelessly on Council for your future in Wellington to be thriving, sustainable, and fair.

Volunteers are the heart of our movement. Talking to voters, joining a market stall or baking all get us one step closer to winning.

There’s a way for everyone to get involved, and every hour volunteered helps!

A vibrant city we can all afford

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

Affordable housing in the heart of our city

Too many Wellingtonians are spending the majority of their income just on housing. If we want our city to be affordable for everyone we need thousands more homes in the heart of our city.

We’ve already doubled the number of affordable homes provided by the Council and I’m committed to extending it further. Adding 1500 affordable apartments to the heart of Wellington will bring it back to life, and pressure landlords to lower prices across the city.

A city people are excited to move to, not leave

People don’t see their future in Wellington and that needs to change. Young Wellingtonians are voting with their feet and moving to cities that invest in their public spaces, are easy to get around and have fantastic career prospects.

If we want a vibrant city we need to invest in our public spaces. Enabling parkelts, revitalising the Golden Mile, and improving the safety of our city centre are all needed if we want to be a world-class capital.

A connected, climate resilient city

We’re a city of walkers, cyclists, and bus users. We need a network that works for us. That means better footpaths, cycle lanes, and bus lanes to speed up the way we move around our city.

If we want to tackle climate change head on we need to be making it easier to get around the city on a bus, bike, or by foot. Building a second bus spine will not only speed up our buses, but it will also make it easier to run buses more frequently without an increase in price.
