Our City Vision candidates for the Albert-Eden Local Board are as follows:

And current Albert-Eden Local Board Members

“Our candidates are grounded in the local community and will stand up for the things that matter to local people: transport and housing choice, care for our environment and heritage, keeping assets in public ownership and making Council work effectively through strong community engagement.”
“We’re looking forward to campaigning on our solid record of achievement over the first two terms. We will be campaigning hard, listening to our communities and winning their support, right through to the election in October. Our communities deserve a strong community voice and we’re giving it to them”, says Peter Haynes.
