Wellsford Subdivision - Stephanie Railey

Stephanie Railey was raised on the West Coast. She moved with her family to Auckland and then in 1995, shifted to Wellsford. While raising her family and as a small business owner, she has always been interested and active in community issues. Stephanie writes for several publications and is owner/operator of RnR Charters. She is keen to see North Auckland get a fair shake in the new Supercity.

I am a Wellsford resident and business person and have for many years been involved in local matters. I enjoy living in this area as it has so much to offer. Complaining does not solve problems, getting involved and finding solutions does, so here I am asking for the support of voters, so I can make a difference.

My priorities for the Wellsford subdivision are:
• To be sure our district benefits from this amalgamation into the Super City and that the amalgamation runs smoothly.

• To ensure that when people have a say, it is heard and the message is recognised about how our beautiful North Auckland District should develop.

• Find out what residents would like in regard to improvements to infrastructure of our township.

• Encourage business growth in the district i.e. work alongside the local business assoc group and other local groups.

• The long term Council Community Plan carried forward by the new Auckland City Council

• Preserve our unspoiled coastline and recreational fishery for future generations, with common sense.

• Recognise the need to protect and keep viable, our rural farming sector.

• To allow sensible growth and subdivision in the area.

• Creation of jobs and employment opportunities.
