New Council Appointed

 John Mills

         John Mills


Following a call for council members, we are delighted to announce the new council will be comprised of a diverse group of residents from throughout the country who reside in both large and small retirement villages in cites and in the regions. 


All council members were nominated by resident committees or at least two residents. No nominations were allowed to be made by operators.


The new council members are:  Carole Shepherd, Denise Whitehead, Julie Shepherd, Deborah Bradley, Roger Parton, Andrew McEwan, Roger Shallcrass and John Mills. 


John Mills is new to the Council and comes from Lockerbie Village in Morrinsville and was nominated by his village resident committee. He works full-time in community support. He is a retired chartered accountant and a former electoral officer. We welcome John to the Council.


Whilst applications for the Council have closed this round, the Council is wanting to fill a role on the Council of a resident who lives in Auckland. If you live in a retirement village in Auckland and wish to join the Council, please email info@residentscouncil.org.nz

"Like many others, I enjoy retirement village life and have embraced this new phase wholeheartedly. But there’s a lot that needs fixing, which is why the last Government launched a review of retirement villages."
