WARRING Lily - Candidate profile
Affiliation: Green Party
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area.
Ōtepoti deserves leadership grounded in creativity, care, and community. Our city is rich in taonga: people, places, and stories that deserve both protection and investment.
I’m a visual designer who has worked closely with local government for three years, bringing a thoughtful perspective to complex challenges. I’m an active volunteer across several Dunedin communities, including Aroha Kaikorai Valley and John’s Sketch Club where I champion creative initiatives.
I will prioritise housing, representation (not limited to mana whenua, youth, and former refugee communities), the environment, and accessible public life focusing on a truly livable city.
I intend to lead with people at the heart of every decision. When our social foundations are strong, we create space for real choice, especially for our children and grandchildren. Let’s build an abundant, resilient city together.
