Melanie Kenrick

I’m a true local, raising my family here, just like I was. It was a privilege to be elected in 2019. I love Kaipātiki and am passionate about working hard for the area.

My experience, along with being a member of the community, includes over a decade as a senior mental health nurse and governance roles within intellectual disability and education charities.

This term I’ve worked hard to elevate the focus of wellbeing for our community. I strongly advocated for local sports clubs and arts community. I listen to our community - my voice in board decisions reflects your views.

I support protecting heritage, environment and coastal assets and ensuring sufficient compliance.

I have the leadership and prioritisation skills for the numerous, significant decisions facing the local board. I will challenge council spending to ensure ratepayers and Kaipātiki achieve the best outcomes.
