Glyn Lewers is standing for Queenstown Lakes District Mayor in the 2025 Local Body Elections.

Statement

Our region has faced extraordinary growth and challenges over the past three years. As Mayor, I’ve taken a solutions first approach: building partnerships and getting things done.

This is a time for leadership that understands the scale of both the challenges and opportunities ahead of us. I have the proven experience and government relationships to navigate it.

I have secured negotiations on a lasting investment plan – Regional Deals – to unlock funding for transport, health, energy resilience, housing and economic diversification.

I’m a dad to two boys and partner to Prue. I understand the everyday pressures families face. After three years of hard work, I know three more is the opportunity to see the vision take shape: a district where families stay close, work and study options are available locally, no one has to leave for healthcare or better opportunities, and we all share in the wealth generated in our district.
