AKERS Lachlan - Candidate profile
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area.
When I first moved to Dunedin I only planned on staying here for a year. Now; I plan on growing old in this awesome little city. I love the culture, the arts and music scene, the people, the beaches, and the beautiful old stone buildings.
I even love the layer of ice which coats my van on chilly winter mornings.
I am proudly young, queer, neurodivergent, poetic, and deeply empathetic. I am supportive of small, local businesses which provide goods, services, and jobs to our residents and contribute to our local circular economy.
I’m financially literate, and experienced in management, community support work, and volunteering with local events.
If I were a bug, I’d be a Tusked Wētā. If I were a colour I’d be sunshine yellow. If I were a Dunedin City Councillor, I’d try my hardest to support healthy, vibrant, sustainable growth for our city and communities.
