"We believe the Trusts can be an even more powerful force for good in West Auckland — running efficiently, delivering vibrant hospitality, and giving more back to the community."

Marcus Amosa, Catherine Farmer, and Simon Matafai are standing together as independent candidates with one mission: modernise the Trusts, unlock their potential, and make sure West Auckland gets the hospitality, funding, and bussiness it deserves.

Changing the Trusts Starts Here

We’re a team of passionate locals.

We come from business, community service, legal, and governance backgrounds. We’ve worked inside this complex system. We know how it works, and more importantly, we know what needs to be done to deliver more for our community.

We’re not here to protect the status quo. We’re here to modernise the Trusts and get more back for our communities.

We believe the Trusts can do more. More hospitality and More community giveback but it needs to start with structural reform.

We’re running because we love this place and we know the Trusts can do better.
