Vote Independent – Vote for Change – Vote for IT
A Stronger, Smarter, and More Accountable Wellington
A Wellington for Everyone
Wellington deserves affordable rates, responsible spending,
safer streets, and better leadership — free from party politics.
Our independent councillors stand for:
Keeping Wellington Affordable
ZERO RATES INCREASE
- Maintain Zero Rates for the next three years and then only increase rates at the rate of inflation.
- Cut Council Costs on unnecessary projects.
- Prioritise core infrastructure— pipes, roads, parks, and public facilities.
No More Debt Spiral
BACK TO BASICS
- Scrap wasteful projects – focus on essentials.
- Audit Council departments – for efficiency and value.
- Borrow less, spend smarter – make your rates work for you.
Planes, Trains, Buses and Automobiles
ACCESS BRINGS BUSINESS
- Restore CBD access for all – and reinstate lost car parks.
- Ensure Council projects support, not harm, local businesses.
- Take a balanced approach to transport – cars, public transit, cycling, and walkability.
A Council for Everyone
NO PARTY POLITICS
- Wellington City must take priority – not a political party.
- Support councillors who put residents first – not personal agendas.
- Make decisions based on what’s best for the city – party system is unacceptable.
Wellington, where everyone feels secure
A SAFER CITY
- Zero-tolerance for anti-social behaviour.
- Strengthen community policing for a visible presence.
- Ensure well-lit, well-patrolled public spaces, including 24-hour CCTV in the CBD.
