I'm making a new audio and Vlog series on Cool Kiwis, such as Bob Harvey the Mayor of Waitakere City, who I'm interviewing on Thursday. Bob is passionate about Auckland's west, and has just completed a major project to protect the Waitakere ranges from urban sprawl. They take the environment so seriously in Waitakere eco-city, that a landowner was jailed for cutting down trees near here.
Bob Harvey however doesn't take himself as seriously, and also has a real life stand up comedian on his team, in the form of Westie comic Ewan Gilmour. Other notable Westies are top NZ Fashion Designer Karen Walker who lives out West when she's not overseas. There are also lots of little record labels like ourselves in what I call 'Westiewood' due to all the local production houses and film companies out this way.
If you have any questions you want me to ask Bob then add a comment or email me.
