Let’s Make Waimairi Safer, Fairer, and More Connected

Pavithra from Russley

Kia ora, I’m Pavithra Ravi.

I’m a proud mum of three, a teacher, and a small business owner who lives and works right here in Waimairi. I'm running for the Waimairi Community Board because I believe local leadership should listen, follow through, and always put people before politics.

Our neighbourhood deserves:

✅ Safer, family-friendly streets

✅ Stronger support for small businesses

✅ A more connected and inclusive community

✅ Leadership that’s apolitical, approachable, and accountable

✅ Council spending that reflects what locals really need

I’m not here to play politics. I’m here to make a difference for our families, our local economy, and our future.

Let’s build a stronger, kinder Waimairi - together.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
