Melissa Moore brings over 30 years of experience in accounting, quality systems, and business process improvement across both the public and private sectors. She currently works in the public service as an analyst, focused on improving efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the way taxpayer money is spent.

Melissa is a strong advocate for reviewing Council expenditure and reassessing spending priorities. She plans to lead a comprehensive audit of all council services to ensure ratepayer money is being used wisely and effectively. With sound business acumen and a commonsense approach, she’s committed to helping Council refocus on its essential services.

Born and raised in Wellington, Melissa has watched with concern as the city has deteriorated in recent years. She believes it’s time for Council to get back to basics – delivering the services residents need while working more effectively with central government to reduce unnecessary regulation.
