Brent Bailey
Rodney Local Board
Candidate, Kumeu Subdivision
A current Local Board member with six years of governance experience Brent Bailey brings considerable business sense to how the Local Board can deliver on key projects for Rodney.
Over the last three years, Brent has been involved in local projects including the Huapai Hub, planning a park and ride for Huapai, footpath, and road safety projects, and as a representative on Auckland Council’s Rural Advisory Panel.
Brent’s background is in sales and project management for the IT and telecommunications sectors. A rural resident in Muriwai, he is passionate about the creation of employment and enterprise opportunities for Northwest residents.
Brent believes the unprecedented population growth in Rodney should be matched by proportionate funding, so Rodney gets a fair share of regional spending. Increasing the funding and quality of road maintenance needs to be a top priority for Council.
