Taking Waiuku & West Franklin Forward

Together, we’ll build a stronger, more prosperous community for all

Our Communities

Although the “subdivision” of Franklin Local Board that I’m standing in is called ‘Waiuku’, the area is much larger than that. I’m campaigning to represent some of the best suburbs in our region, including;

Awhitu | Big Bay | Glenbrook | Glenbrook Beach | Grahams Beach | Kahawai Point | Karioitahi | Kohekohe | Matakawau | Mauku | Mission Bush | Orua Bay | Patumahoe | Pollok | Pukeoware | Puni | Taurangaruru | Te Toro | Waipipi | Waiuku | Wattle Bay

*Those in italics are only partly within the boundary, other parts of that town or settlement are either in another Franklin Local Board subdivision, or fall into the Waikato District Council & Waikato Regional Council boundaries.

Meet Tremayne

  • Kia ora, I’m Tremayne Thompson, and I’m standing for the Franklin Local Board because I believe in a future where our community thrives through hard work, personal responsibility, and good leadership. I want to create a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, while staying true to the values that have always made our community great.

    I believe in personal responsibility, economic opportunity, and community empowerment. Local government should provide the right support and remove unnecessary barriers, helping businesses and individuals flourish. We need fresh, practical ideas that create a more connected and resilient community, without overcomplicating things. I want to foster innovation that works for our unique local needs, from improving services to encouraging new opportunities for growth.

    As a father, volunteer first responder, and active member of local groups like the Waiuku Museum Society, Waiuku Community Patrol and Waiuku Theatre Group, I’ve seen how powerful it is when we all work together. But I also know that real progress comes from individuals taking responsibility for themselves, their families, and their community. That’s the spirit I want to encourage in Franklin.

    I’m standing because I want to make sure that our community, from Waiuku to Awhitu, Glenbrook, and everywhere in between remains a place where families can grow, businesses can succeed, and our kids have the opportunity to build their own bright futures. Together, we can create a place where hard work pays off, where we respect individual freedoms, and where we make sensible, forward-thinking decisions that will benefit us all.

    Let’s build a future that works for everyone. I’m ready to work with you to make it happen.
