1) CE’s KPIs Public and workshopped: Councillors will workshop and set the chief executive’s performance measures, giving stronger input and direction from governance. These KPIs will then be published on the Annual Report so expectations are clear and progress is visible to the community.

2) Water Entity oversight: Hold the new Water Entity to account, ensuring Porirua’s voice is strong at the table and that money is spent wisely and necessary infrastructure delivered.

3) Stronger Procurement accountability: Council must be accountable for the major contracts it signs. Too often, the public ends up paying twice when work fails because the clauses were too light or not enforced. As Mayor, I will make sure contracts include stricter requirements up front, clear quality standards, longer defect liability periods, and penalties if the job fails. I will also ensure Council reports publicly on contractor performance so people can see whether the work they paid for was delivered. Accountability starts at the front end with watertight contracts that are enforced every time.
