About Greater Dunedin
Greater Dunedin was formed in 2007. Its purpose is to find outstanding people and get them elected to the City Council.
The Society searches for candidates with integrity, intelligence, analytical and communication skills, knowledge of and concern about major issues (both local and global) and a commitment to putting in the effort required to contribute to responsible decision-making. There must be diversity in the group, because the job of Council is to govern the whole city, not just reflect the values of one segment of it.
In 2007 three Greater Dunedin candidates, Dave Cull, Chris Staynes and Kate Wilson, were elected to the Council. In 2010 Dave Cull was elected Mayor, Kate Wilson and Chris Staynes were re-elected and Crs Jinty MacTavish and Richard Thomson were also elected. Chris Staynes became Deputy Mayor.
In 2013 these five are all standing again, along with four new Greater Dunedin candidates.
Greater Dunedin is a non-profit incorporated society. It is not a political party. Its elected councillors support and respect each other’s views but they make their own independent judgements about Council matters. Members of the Society who are not elected Councillors play no part in the policy-making or decision-making on Council matters.

The Lord family have lived and farmed on the Taieri for 25 years. Mike and Philippa have four children, two still at school and two at University.

Mike is well known as a man whose actions speak as clearly as his words. He’s a clear thinker, a man of principle and integrity who devotes his time, talent and energy to a range of community activities that include school support, children’s and youth programmes, church affairs and Rotary. He has travelled on a number of occasions to Africa, where he assists with orphanage and community projects and voluntary medical aid.
Having just completed his term as President of the 900-strong Otago Province of Federated Farmers, Mike continues on its executive and is at the same time Chairman of the DCC Civil Defence Rural Liaison Committee.
He is also a trustee of both the Maranatha Retirement Village in Mosgiel and the Lakeland Park Christian Camp in Queenstown.

He strongly approves of the way the Council has become much more open in the last three years under Mayor Cull’s leadership.

VOTE Dave Cull For Mayor
Dave Cull was elected Mayor in 2010, with a mandate to change the way our city was being run. With the support of his Greater Dunedin colleagues he has insisted on openness in Council business and effective two-way communication between Council and community.
Under his leadership Council has addressed escalating debt, unsustainable rate rises and serious Council company governance issues. It has demanded much greater efficiency and accountability in its operations and saved many millions of ratepayer dollars.
Mayor Cull’s firm but inclusive chairmanship has ensured Council is less divisive, more collegial and constructive. Three years of hard work is producing a clear vision of the city that we residents want for our future generations.
In a tough economic and political climate Dave Cull has stepped up. He has shown that he will not back down from a challenge and that he is ready to tackle any problem, local, national or global.
