As a group we have decided not to make promises we can’t keep; instead we want to share with you the values we use to make decisions. We say Upper Harbour is our backyard because it is our home as much as it is yours. Backyards can be a little bit messy, because often that is where spend time living our lives. As such we want to focus on how you work, travel, play, and live in our communities; rather than the things that make politicians look good. We are a team that would rather be doing the right thing than be just be seen to do the right thing. As a team we believe Upper Harbour should be a place with:
