Jason Roxburgh

Candidate statement

Independent

My principal place of residence is in the Thames-Coromandel General Constituency area.

Kia ora koutou. I’m standing for Waikato Regional Council to represent Thames-Coromandel with a focus on the environment that sustains our way of life and economy, including aquaculture, farming, tourism, and forestry.

I have proudly lived and worked here for 25 years, and bring extensive knowledge of the issues landowners face, our communities and environment, strong knowledge of Council’s roles in catchment and river management, flood protection, biodiversity and biosecurity, and future growth and development planning. I’m committed to genuine partnership with tangata whenua, and to supporting the many community and Iwi groups already working hard to protect our harbours, rivers, and forests. My priorities include genuine collaboration with community, environmental and economic resilience, and improving water quality and climate resilience. Through collaboration, transparent decision-making, and practical solutions that balance environmental care with economic needs, I will advocate for a thriving, resilient Thames-Coromandel where people and nature flourish together.
