Shanan says, “I am humbled by the Labour Party’s support for me to continue representing the people of Northcote.
I am committed to ensuring our community has a strong local voice in Parliament, as part of a re-elected Labour Government.
Labour has a strong record of achievement in Northcote. Since coming into government in 2017, Labour’s local achievements have delivered:
Almost 500 new public houses as part of the Northcote Development, with a $13 million upgrade to the Northcote Development Stormwater Trunk Provision in 2020.
Local school upgrades; Northcote College received a total of $60 million since 2018, and new classrooms for local schools, including Northcote Intermediate, and Birkenhead School.
The opening of the tender processes for the additional Waitematā Harbour Connections project.
I am committed to ensuring our community has a strong local voice in Parliament, as part of a re-elected Labour Government.
Labour has a track record of protecting New Zealanders from the pandemic, supporting family budgets through challenging economic times, and making progress on long term issues such as climate change, and child poverty.
