Craig Pauling is our Green candidate for Banks Peninsula in our elections later this year. He has been a strong local voice for Banks Peninsula - Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū especially as the former Chair of Environment Canterbury. 

With a focus on Te Tiriti, local governance, and environmental protection, Craig brings a huge background in environmental management and restoration.

Come along and meet Craig and some others, tell us what you think are the big green issues are for Banks Peninsula, and and find out more about what he is offering as the Green Party Candidate

We hope to have monthly Green gatherings in Akaroa, open to members, supporters and curious locals. The discussion for the first meeting is simply asking people what they think the big green issues are for Banks Peninsula — listening first, before we start talking. 

If you know people on the peninsula interested in green issues please invite them. If you have ideas for how we could promote the gatherings. We will promote future events on our branch facebook page, the Greens website, and in the Akaroa Mail.
