SUTTON Andrew - Candidate profile

Affiliation: Future Dunedin
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area. I am also standing for Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board.
I am committed to financial prudence, ensuring every ratepayer dollar is spent wisely. I prioritise transparency, responsible budgeting, and cost-effective solutions that deliver essential services without waste. Community needs and value for money will always come first.
As a hardworking councillor, I will listen, lead, and deliver. I’ll engage with the community, advocate for local needs, and ensure residents are genuinely heard and represented.
I want to help shift the council culture—toward collaboration, accountability, and focus. That means working together to control debt, minimise rate rises, and deliver the core services Dunedin relies on.
I care deeply about our city and its people—their housing, recreation, and local amenities. I’m committed to making thoughtful, balanced decisions that support long-term sustainability and growth, so Dunedin becomes a place people are proud to call home.
