Local Body Elections

Recently the Newmarket (NBA) and Parnell (PBA) Business Associations jointly hosted an online Q&A with candidates running in the 2025 local body elections for the Waitematā & Gulf Ward (Councillor). We were joined by a media panel of NZ Herald’s Simon Wilson and Stuff’s Jonathan Killick.

The candidates answered a range of questions from NBA’s, Mark Knoff-Thomas, and PBAs, Cheryl Adamson, then faced additional questions from the media panel.

To watch the online event, and to watch a range of 1-minute pitch videos for the Waitematā Local Board candidates (kindly put together by our good neighbours at PBA), please click here.
