Peter Naylor

My principal place of residence is in the South Tararua Ward area.

Tararua is facing significant change and opportunity. A new road brings opportunity. I’m standing for Council because I bring the problem-solving mindset and strategic thinking we need.

With new expectations from central government, local councils must think differently, plan smarter, and do more with less. With a background in digital transformation, communications, and public engagement, I understand how to navigate change and deliver value. I’ve led projects in both government and business, and now live and work in Woodville, where I’m actively involved in community initiatives and as a board member of Woodville Lions Club.

I believe in strong local voice, practical solutions, and future-focused planning. My goal is to minimise the pressure on rates while improving outcomes for our district. That means embracing innovation, working collaboratively, and holding firm to what matters most - the wellbeing of our people, communities, and environment.

Let’s build a resilient, forward-looking Tararua together.
