One key election issue has been the proposed landfill site at Smooth Hill. While the incumbent Mayor Jules Radich has supported the Smooth Hill landfill site, mayoral candidate Andrew Simms and his Future Dunedin ticket have opposed the new landfill site and campaigned on reversing the Council’s decision to acquire the site for rubbish disposal.[5]
Declared candidates
[edit]
On 17 June 2025, former Team Dunedin Councillors Andrew Whiley and Kevin Gilbert endorsed Sophie Barker as mayoral candidate. They along with fellow Team Dunedin councillor Brent Weatherall declined to endorse Jules Radich for a second term as Mayor of Dunedin.[20]
When progress results were released on the afternoon after voting closed, it was clear that Dunedin would get a new mayor, but it was unclear who that was going to be. Radich, the incumbent, had come fourth. Sophie Barker has a slim margin of 105 votes over Andrew Simms, with Lee Vandervis in third place.[21]
