Councillor and Community Board candidates for Harewood Ward in the 2022 local elections.


Harewood Ward - Councillor (1 vacancy)

Fiona BENNETTS

Fiona BENNETTS

My principal place of residence is in the Harewood Ward area. I am also standing for Harewood Ward of the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board.

Elect me and let's work together to build a city that is diverse, vibrant, and resilient; where children and older people can safely get around, where businesses are easy to access, and where there are green spaces and playgrounds to enjoy.
Like you, I worry about the impacts of climate change and want the Council to work with our communities to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies in partnership with mana whenua.
My public sector experience, communication skills, and degrees in both Science and the Arts enable me to advocate strongly for communities. I have volunteered in the not-for-profit sector for over a decade, including in management and governance roles.
I have the skills and experience to step forward and be an effective Councillor that represents your interests today and in the future. I'm an active listener, and I'm keen to empower us all to solve the issues we're facing, together.

My principal place of residence is in the Harewood Ward area.

I am Aaron Keown, your councillor for the Harewood ward. I am proud to say I am also the chair of the CCC Disabilities Working Group. I am married with three children and we live here in the ward. I also own two unique small businesses that employ a number of people and help grow the Event & Tourism industry in Christchurch.
I have met many of you in my time as an elected member, as I am always contactable and I do my best to get good outcomes for our ward and the hard working rate payers that live here.
My voting record shows I've been true to the people of Harewood on a number of issues (Harewood Rd, traffic lights, rates, water charging, the stadium) and will speak up when something isn't right. I'm outcome focused and constantly look for the best value for your money.

Linda CHEN

My principal place of residence is in the Harewood Ward of the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board area.

I am seeking re-election after serving two terms as the Community Board Member for Harewood Ward.
I am passionate about listening to our residents and finding the right solutions for families and businesses in our community. I strongly feel that our residents need to be well informed on the use of the council's budget to ensure the funds are allocated appropriately with adequate consultations taken before any decisions are made.
I have a background in the financial services industry and am raising two young children in the area. Getting the basics right and doing what's best for the residents in Harewood has always been my priority.
As your fellow resident in the Harewood area, I will make sure your voices are heard.
Re-elect Linda Chen for Community Board.

Jason MIDDLEMISS

My principal place of residence is in the Harewood Ward of the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board area.

I am seeking re-election because my passion and commitment to our communities, residents, organisations, and cultural foundations has only ever strengthened since serving as your representative.
Playing my part to help address pressing issues relating to managing growth, roading changes, through to getting bins back in our parks is important to you, and equally so to me.
With two young children, the value in making sure we get the basics done right so that our parks, footpaths, and roads are well maintained and safe is more important than ever.
Using my experience as a Chartered Accountant, and perspective gained bringing up a family in our area, I offer you a representative that is competent and invested in helping deliver the best outcomes for all.
I am always available to hear your concerns and feedback. Please contact me anytime at jason@jasonmiddlemiss.co.nz or 027-777-0108.
Re-elect Jason Middlemiss for Community Board.
