The current Mayor pulled his car over in Waikino, off the Karangahake Gorge, for his interview with The Profile. He was returning to Paeroa from a meeting with the Waihi Fire Service, which was working on a funding application for a new shed to house a water tanker.

“I just think that’s what makes you do a job like [mayor] and is why you get into local government anyway – because you care about your community,” he said.

Sir Keith Park Memorial Airfield president Geoff Furkert told The Profile that the bronze statue, designed by Helensville artist Joanne Sullivan, was the culmination of six years of effort.
