Karl Tiefenbacher Navigating Wellington's Challenges: A Call for Affordability and Common Sense

I hope you're enjoying the start to 2024 and making the most of the warm summer days we are starting to get.  

Wellington, is a an amazing, compact city. We've been lovingly referred to as absolutely positively wellington, the coolest little capital in the world, middle earth and some not so pleasant names recently. Wellington holds a special place in the hearts of many of its residents, myself included. But we're facing challenges that demand solutions and a fresh perspective. I'm not just wanting to point out the problems; I want real solutions! Wellington deserves better. We need to be more focussed on affordability and infrastructure improvements, and this requires better financially prudent spending. I'm here to listen and help find solutions. 

As someone deeply invested in the city's well-being, I'm asking for your vote because Wellington deserves better. The current trajectory seems unsustainable, and I'm committed to bringing about a positive change. 

My vision is built upon a strategic reassessment of our priorities. We need to actually listen to effected party's, ratepayers, retailers, hospitality and landlords so that we can make better decisions without compromising what makes Wellington quintessentially the coolest place to live. 

A recent poll reflects the sentiment of over 95% of Wellingtonians, who were against the proposed changes to the "Golden mile ". We need to listen! The question asked, For or against spending 130 million+ on Lambton Quay?. 




This isn't about resisting change; it's about making informed decisions that consider the well-being of everyone in our community. Let's get away from party politics, bipartisan, political alliance, controversy and distraction from what's important. Listen to our rate payers and communities and work towards a brighter and more affordable future for Wellington. 

Please email me with your ideas: kar14wellington@gmail.com I am happy to hear from anyone regarding anything. Here's to better in 2024.

Karl Tiefenbacher For Wellington

Its time for a different approach, as the saying goes, you can't keep doing the same things and expecting a different result.  I feel that now is the time for us to put political agendas aside, and we forget about party colours and start focusing on what will make Wellington a better place to live.  I'm an independent candidate that will focus on the importance of fiscal responsibility and a back to basics approach vs another political party member who will vote in line with party directives without truly understanding the damage they are doing to our city. I have no party agenda and my simple promise to you, is to put Wellington first. Let's get the basics right, before any of the nice to haves.    Not many people will tell you about the reality we are in but our debt levels have skyrocketed over the last 6 years from 400 million to a staggering and heartbreaking 1.5 billion dollars! It is hard to imagine how we will be able to  pay this bac...

When I first read about the draft Long Term Plan and seemingly the council accepting the fact that we need to focus more on the water issues we are having, I felt excited. Finally we will see some sensible financial decisions being made and Wellington getting back on track to becoming the great little capital we have always been so proud to call home. Or so I thought. Unfortunately on closer examination the recommended savings offer little in cost savings and likely will face so much public backlash that many will not make the cut. They want to cut services while increasing rates. They want to sell assets to fund operational expenditure. They want to decrease safety by stopping live monitoring of CCTV. They want to reduce graffiti removal allowing the city to become even more shabby than it has become already. The fun police even want to cancel New Years Eve, or at least the waterfront public event which is attended by a huge number of Wellingtonians of all ages. They want to cancel pu...
