Statement
Ex-Mayor Warren Cooper said in a Scoop interview that one aspect missing from the current Council is Business acumen. I bring that.
I’ve been a Queenstown resident for 25-years and understand the challenges —from housing affordability and sustainable tourism to significant infrastructure issues. What’s missing from Council today is business experience.
With a strong background in property and technology at the highest levels in NZ, I offer commercial expertise to tackle real issues, like a $250M roading expenditure that's significantly over budget and hasn’t eased congestion and sewage going into the Shotover River.
Queenstown needs smart, value-driven leadership. I’ll advocate for practical, commercially sound solutions that reflect better value for ratepayers.
This world-class destination now needs world-class governance. I am solely focused on outcomes, not headlines. If elected, it will have the benefit of my extensive business experience. Visit www.tim-for-queenstown.com for more information.
