1.What is your vision for Gisborne in terms of cultural diversity?
I support any cultures wanting to live in Gisborne to embrace our lifestyle and community connectivity.
2. The Ten Year Plan says GDC will support the development of cultural groups in the district, what kind of support do you think GDC should provide to the Tairāwhiti Multicultural Council?
I see the roll of GDC as a facilitator to encourage the integration of cultural groups into our society.
3. What regular interaction do you have with groups of people from cultural backgrounds different to your own? I surf and play golf with other cultures. I am a retailer so have regular contact with immigrants.
4. What, if any, common challenges are you aware of for local residents from ethnic minority groups? Trying to understand their speaking in english.
5. What are the biggest opportunities you see for attracting new immigrants and refugees to Gisborne?Our lifestyle, friendly community and productive spacious land helps to attract immigrants to Gisborne.
