Stephanie has earned her reputation as a conscientious hard

worker.

Having graduated in 1981 with a Bachelor of Regional Planning

(Honours), Stephanie worked as a Town Planning Consultant

for over 15 years in a multidisciplinary practice of engineers,

architects, surveyors and planners. A resident of Orakei for 8

years, with her husband Doug living in Glendowie more recently

for the last 23 years where they raised their two sons who

attended the local schools including Churchill Park School and

Sacred Heart College. Her work with non-profit groups including

Autism NZ, Speld and The Parenting Place including working

on fundraising committees for the renovation of the St Heliers/

Glendowie Scout Group Hall and the building of Newmarket Play

Centre has seen her receive a Good Citizen award from the Mayor.

Friendly, approachable and always obliging, Stephanie’s desire

is to help take the stress and worry from people as they make

the big decisions around their next move. Her experience in

town planning in particular is hugely valuable for homeowners in

helping them understand the impact of the Council Unitary Plan

for their own property and their surroundings.
