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.

Transcript (inside):
Kate Wilson for Mosgiel-Taieri
Kate Wilson is widely appreciated in the Mosgiel-Taieri Ward as an outstandingly effective and hardworking Dunedin City Councillor.
The experience she has gained through six intense years on Council, along with her knowledge of every corner of the Ward and her willingness to sit down and listen to residents from all parts of the city guarantees that she will be an invaluable member of the next Council.
Undeterred by the long hours and the travel needed to carry out her Council duties, Kate says the main impetus for running for a third term is the clear vision for the future shape and character of our city that has been developed through consultation with the community over the last Council term.
With university degrees in both law and geography, she has a particular strength in planning and resource matters and looks forward to continuing to apply her skills and experience as the District Plan is implemented.
First elected in 2007, Kate says she has seen great improvements in the way Council operates and serves its citizens since 2010, when Dave Cull became Mayor and Greater Dunedin won five seats at the Council table. She’s proud of the way Council has become more open and inclusive and is actively listening to all sectors of the community, and she enjoys the strong input of the new faces in many of the leading roles in the council offices.
Kate lives on the family farm in Middlemarch, and when she’s not engaged in Council or other community work, she can be found nearby running her famous cafe. She chairs the Otago Central Rail Trail Charitable Trust and represents the Council as Deputy Chair of the Otago Museum Trust Board.

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.
