Anthony Kenny
for Dunedin General Ward
ACT Local has selected Anthony Kenny — a former Royal New Zealand Navy serviceman with 22 years of active military experience and a local business leader, as its candidate for the Dunedin City Council in this year’s local election.
After two decades in the Navy, Anthony joined a communications technology company, working his way up from salesman to joint owner. His business helps local companies and utilities stay connected with two-way radio and GPS solutions. Married with two adult children, he brings discipline, leadership, and real-world experience to the table.
He’s standing to bring accountability, efficiency, and practical thinking back to Dunedin’s local government
“I’m standing for local government with ACT to bring accountability, efficiency, and common sense back to council. Rates must deliver real value, and core services should come first. I want safer streets, better infrastructure, and transparent leadership that truly represents ratepayers, not political agendas. I’ll be a strong, practical voice for change.” – Anthony Kenny

When you vote ACT Local,
you know what you're getting:
Respect for ratepayers.
Stop the waste and focus on value. Zero-based budgeting: every dollar of council spending must be justified. No more blank cheques for vanity projects.
Fix the basics first.
Potholes, broken pipes, and failing infrastructure come first. Core services must be the priority—not endless reports and consultants.
Real local democracy.
Open up council processes to the public. Major spending decisions must be made in the daylight— with real consultation. Ratepayers deserve a voice before the vote, not after.
Back local business.
Slash council delays and compliance costs for small businesses. Make it easier to build, grow, and hire.
Focus on what matters.
Keep it focused on parks, pipes, and permits—not politics. Stop the mission creep and get back to basics.
