Billy Davis is proud to stand for the Howick Local Board, representing a community he describes as “rich in history, culture, and connection”.
As a Kaumatua for Victim Support Counties Manukau, Davis has guided individuals and whānau through some of their most challenging times.
His work, featured in the NZ Herald article headlined ‘Billy Davis, the people who pick up the pieces’, has deepened his belief in listening, empathy, and meaningful action.
Davis also volunteers with the Howick Pakuranga Community Patrol, witnessing first-hand the impact of community-led safety initiatives.
His commitment to public service has recently been recognised by the Ministry of Justice, which approved him to serve as a Justice of the Peace.
Deeply engaged in the local community, Davis is a member of the Howick Club, Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association, and Pakuranga Chinese Baptist Church.
He serves on the board of the Beth Shean Trust and is a marriage celebrant, sitting on the committee for Celebrants Aotearoa Auckland Branch.
His volunteer work includes supporting the Heart Foundation, Breast Cancer Foundation, and Cancer Society.
Each Easter, he leads the Sunrise Service on Stockade Hill in te reo Māori.
Davis’s dedication has not gone unnoticed. In June, 2023, he received a Volunteer Appreciation Certificate from the Howick Local Board, followed by a Community Hero Award in November, 2024 from the Eastern Times.
If elected, Davis’s key priorities are:
- Community Safety – Strengthening partnerships between residents, police, and local services.
- Support for the Vulnerable – Ensuring services and resources reach those most in need.
- Parking solutions – Introducing designated berm parking bays on narrow streets to ease congestion.
- Stronger engagement – Making it easier for locals to participate in decision-making.
Davis promises to serve with openness, listen carefully, and be a strong advocate for the Howick community.
“Together, we can ensure Howick remains a safe, supportive, and thriving place for everyone.”
