Jarrod Hodson (Chair)

Kia ora

I’m a long-time resident of West Harbour Ravensbourne and moved to Dunedin in 1987 from Auckland at the age of 16 with my family. We are originally from the UK and moved to New Zealand in 1975, living in Devonport until our big move to this beautiful city Dunedin.

I’m a family man and have children from 12 to 21 years old. They are my life and like me they love Dunedin and all it has to offer.

Over the decades I have become increasingly active in local and city advocacy, pushing for issues that concern the community we live in, looking for answers and addressing any problems that are brought to me.

I look forward to serving the city of Dunedin and supporting the most vulnerable, along with economic and environmental issues.

I have worked in different roles over the years and am currently the Commercial Manager for a large Dunedin Company.  I have also worked for KiwiRail and was a Diver in the Transport Corp of the New Zealand Army.
