Helena Roza

ACT Local has selected Helena Roza – a small business owner, community volunteer, and media professional – as its candidate for the North Shore Ward in this year’s Auckland Council election.

Helena cares passionately about the North Shore. A mother and entrepreneur with a background in journalism and television presenting, she co-founded a successful local business with her husband. She volunteers with Meals on Wheels and proudly supports Takapuna FC, where her husband plays goalkeeper. She believes the current council is letting people down. Rates are rising year after year, yet core services are declining. Roads are crumbling, infrastructure is neglected, and small businesses are buried in red tape. Instead of focusing on the basics, Council obsesses over climate targets, removes car parking, and pushes up parking fees, making everyday life harder for locals.

As a mother, business owner, and community advocate, Helena knows how to get things done. North Shore deserves fresh thinking, practical solutions, and representatives who actually listen. It’s time to challenge the tired status quo and put ratepayers first, with a new generation of representatives: confident, capable, and connected to the people. She says:

“I’ll fight to keep rates affordable by cutting waste, not inventing new ways to tax people. Let’s fix what’s broken and build a council that works for the people—so our community can thrive. Mayor Wayne Brown is right to call out Auckland Transport. AT has lost touch—pushing overpriced projects and disruptive cycleways that only make traffic worse.”

“Transport planning should work for the majority. We need better connections for drivers, tradies, and local businesses—not fewer lanes and more delays.” – Helena Roza
