History

Team Dunedin was formed by Dunedin City councillor Jules Radich to contest the 2022 Dunedin mayoral and Dunedin City Council elections. Other members of Team Dunedin have included business owner Brent Weatherall, ACT Party candidate Callum Steele-MacIntosh, Otago Peninsula Community Board member and school teacher Cheryl Neill, restaurant proprietor Riah McLean, and Dunedin City councillor Andrew Whiley.[1]

On 8 October, Radich was elected as Mayor of Dunedin, defeating the incumbent Aaron Hawkins who stood on the Green Party ticket. Whiley was also re-elected to the Dunedin City Council on the Team Dunedin ticket. In addition, two fellow Team Dunedin members Weatherall and Kelvin Gilbert were elected to the Council.[3][4]
