Peter Veltkamp

My principal place of residence is in the area.

Caring for people has always been at the heart of what I do. I’m standing for Council to be a strong, compassionate voice – someone who listens, includes, and takes action. Over the years, I’ve supported our community through volunteer work with the Samaritans, Citizens Advice Bureau, council advisory groups, and local committees.

I co-founded the 3Mile Co-working Community, chaired Ka Pai Carterton, and currently serve on the Go Carterton and Carterton Crier committees.

For the past 11 years, I’ve run my own freelance graphic design and communications business from our home in Carterton.

My career has included roles as senior designer, graphic design tutor, production manager, brand coordinator, and assistant principal; giving me a broad skillset I’m excited to bring to council. Carterton is a special place. I’m committed to ensuring council decisions reflect our community’s voice. I’m kind, approachable, open-minded and 100% focused on Carterton’s future.
