In Kaipara, Jo sees a community that really looks out for each other.

Our Council, Our Community: Meet Jo
I love living in Kaipara. My home looks out across the beautiful Kaipara Harbour from the Oneriri Peninsula. It’s a unique spot, with rich history and I feel privileged to call this place home.
Although I didn’t grow up in Kaipara, when tracing my ancestry, I found I whakapapa to this area and my Great-Great Grandmother is buried near Otamatea. This provides me with a strong sense of place and connection to where I live.
In my role I regularly engage with people – whether that be at the front desk, or through my work with the Mangawhai community housing. Connecting with people and supporting them to navigate Council services is a rewarding part of my job.
I enjoy the diversity of my role which has me regularly connecting with all areas of our organisation and community.
In Kaipara, I see a community that really looks out for each other!
