Bala Venu Beeram: Building a Stronger, Safer, More Inclusive Puketāpapa

I am Bala Venu Beeram, a long-term resident of this community, where my wife and I have raised our daughter. I hold a master’s degree in chemistry and bring over 28 years of professional experience — including 8 years as a teacher and 20 years as a Scientist with AsureQuality in Lynfield.

Beyond my career, I have contributed actively to local life by organising blood drives, tree planting, and cultural and sports events that foster inclusion and connection. I have also served as President of the NZ Telugu Association and currently sit on the Business Committee of the NZ Indian Central Association.

My vision is for a strong, safe, and inclusive Puketāpapa where every voice matters. I believe in prudent spending, fair outcomes for ratepayers, and building vibrant, connected communities. With collaborative leadership and a passion for service, I will work to ensure our neighbourhood thrives.

Vote for Bala Venu Beeram and the C&R team.

Police later recovered one cake, but the sweet-toothed thief left the community shocked (and slightly amused).
