HOULAHAN Carmen - Candidate profile
Affiliation: Independent
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area. I am also standing for Council - At Large.
I do not support removing almost 60 carparks on Albany Street for innercity cycle lanes, and if elected I will oppose it. This proposal would hurt local businesses and reduce vital parking.
As a former journalist, I’m unafraid to ask tough questions and demand transparency. I’m open, honest and fair, and will speak out to champion our city. I’ll keep fighting for our hospital, work to ease rates pressure, and challenge unnecessary costs and delays in building construction.
With a master’s in entrepreneurship, I see problems as opportunities and know how to bring people together. I’m ready to keep working hard—and with your support, ready to lead. I’ll work alongside councillors, regional mayors and our business community so Dunedin has a stronger, united voice.
I’m not here for a team or a party—I’m here for what’s best for Dunedin
