Elections, Hi I'm Bernhard Chrustowski
In my early years I started and operated a Wellington business for ten years with proven financial stewardship skills that allowed me to retire early to Taupo.
Since then I have served as a Taupo District Councillor for 2 terms and became a certified Resource Management Act Commissioner adjudicating on hearings within the Taupo District with a priority for positive environmental outcomes.
My grandchildren attend Waipahihi School where I also serve on the Board of Trustees.
I’m a dedicated volunteer and a fully qualified Cycle Skills instructor. I teach young school children throughout the district, including Turangi, Kuratau and Mangakino on how to ride bicycles and then when they are older on how to be safe while riding on our roads.
My main priorities are: Tackling climate change
Safeguarding and future proofing our fresh water supply, rivers, lakes, and catchments as well as supporting land owners in their efforts to improve water quality.
Supporting the predator free 2050 initiative and the protection of regional native fauna and biodiversity.
Building a resilient regional eco-friendly economy by operating fiscally sound and socially responsible budgets.
Minimising non-recyclable plastics with improved waste management along with increased awareness of commercial responsibility.
Encouraging new technology for recycling used-tyres into new roading infrastructure.
Upgrading infrastructure for increased usage of electric and hydrogen powered vehicles, and safe cycling amenities for recreation and commuting.
Lastly, I’m seeking your endorsement to allow me to serve as your Regional Councillor and become part of the solutions by contributing and influencing the future in a positive and sustainable way.

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
