Hoani Langsbury

I have a long family association with the Otago Peninsula and work locally as the Ecotourism Manager for the Otago Peninsula Trust, responsible for the Royal Albatross Centre. I live at Otakou on the Otago Peninsula.

I’m married, with three daughters, and are an active member of the Otago Peninsula Community. I have been on the Otago Peninsula Community Board since 2010.

I am an ecologist and conservationist with many years of experience supporting the community to achieve successful environmental outcomes. I am active locally as the Chair of the Otago Peninsula Biodiversity Trust, and a founding trustee for Wild Dunedin Festival and Predator Free Dunedin

I recognize that the Peninsula contributes significantly to Dunedin’s economy and long term financial viability, I enjoy contributing to our local community wellbeing, providing for the maintenance of community infrastructure and that long term strategy blends environmental sustainability whilst ensuring economic benefits are realized.
