Jane Burns

Independent

My principal place of residence is in the area.

I am excited about the potential to represent my community as a Carterton District Councillor, which would be both an honour and a privilege. I am committed to stabilising rates increases through financial planning, fiscal discipline and having a clear focus on doing the basics well.

I have a common-sense approach. I believe that listening to and understanding the concerns of the community will allow me to represent Carterton to the best of my ability, putting rate-payers at the heart of decisions.

I have been a Registered Osteopath for over 20 years, and I own and operate Wairarapa Osteopathy, a local Carterton business. I am also the Deputy Chair of the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand, and I’m currently studying for a Masters of Public Policy at Victoria University. I live with my partner and two children in Carterton, and we love living in this wonderful community.
