My name is Selena Renner, and I am standing as an independent candidate for both the Waitematā Local Board and the Waitematā and Gulf Ward for Councillor in the 2025 Auckland local elections. Central Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf islands are my home, and I want to ensure our communities remain places where people can live, work, and thrive.
I bring a diverse professional background that adds real value to local decision-making. I have worked in real estate, project management, film, and hotel development, giving me first-hand insight into housing, urban growth, and economic development. These experiences allow me to approach challenges with creativity, practicality, and a focus on outcomes that benefit residents and ratepayers.
My key priorities are clear:
Protect historic and character buildings while enabling well-designed high-density housing, so our neighbourhoods remain both livable and distinctive.
Fund major infrastructure through the Auckland Future Fund to support growth and essential upgrades without adding pressure on ratepayers.
Promote arts, culture, sports, and film initiatives to revive tourism, create local jobs, and strengthen Auckland’s economy.
I believe action, balance, communication, and accountability are at the heart of good local leadership. My approach is simple: listen, work hard, and deliver practical solutions that improve everyday life for the people of Waitematā and the Gulf.
With your support, I will bring energy, independence, and Selena Renner – Independent Candidate for Waitematā Local Board & Waitematā and Gulf Ward Councillor
