About Simon Hart

It has been an absolute privilege to have developed my career in Local Government management over the last 20+ years. For more than 10 years I served at the heart of communities in a number of community and recreation management roles. However my passion for strategic leadership, organisation planning, and wider community well-being led me into management roles with a more strategic organisation focus, and is where I continue to work today. I currently have the great privilege of serving the Waimakariri District as General Manager, Strategy, Engagement and Economic Development, where I have the pleasure of working alongside a talented and community focused team of professionals.I hold a Bachelor of Applied Management (Strategic Management) with distinction, an Advanced Diploma in Management, and a Diploma in Business (Human Resource Management). Earlier in life, I gained tertiary qualifications in Sport, Fitness and Community Recreation and was an Accredited Recreation Professional with Recreation Aotearoa.
