With more than 30 years of leadership experience across the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector in New Zealand and Australia, Tracey brings a wealth of leadership, operational and commercial expertise to Waterford. Throughout her career, she has led large and diverse teams, managed complex operations, and delivered improvements in financial performance, service standards and customer experience. Her expertise in budgeting, sales and strategic management provides a strong foundation for ensuring our village operates to the highest standards.
Beyond her professional achievements, Tracey is deeply connected to the local community. A Hobsonville Point resident since 2017, she is passionate about supporting the people and initiatives that make the area such a vibrant place to live. From volunteering to run vendor stalls at the Catalina Bay Farmers Market to participating in local initiatives such as Art Point and the community garden ramble, Tracey enjoys being actively involved in her community.
Tracey’s move into retirement village management is also deeply personal. She supported her own parents through the retirement living and care journey, from their initial move into a village, through needs assessments and the transition to dementia and higher levels of care, including navigating the complexities of funding.
Having experienced firsthand how overwhelming and difficult to navigate this process can be for families, Tracey understands the importance of clear information, genuine support and strong leadership. This experience inspired her to bring her professional skills into retirement living, where she is committed to guiding, mentoring and supporting residents and their families through every stage of their journey.

Tracey was born and raised in the heart of the Waikato in a close-knit rural community and grew up in an energetic and sports-loving family. With 25 years of experience in the tourism industry, primarily managing a unique American student educational and cultural programme, Tracey quickly builds connections with people from all walks of life. It was a deeply personal journey that brought her to the retirement living and aged care sector. She supported her very independent 82-year-old mother through the process of moving between three retirement villages - across two cities – which was eye opening. Faced with little information and not sure where to begin, Tracey kept thinking, ‘there must be an easier way’ and that ignited her desire to guide and make the process more seamless for others. As Waterford’s Sales Manager, she draws daily on her own experiences, understanding the questions you likely have, and things you need to know, to make informed decisions. Tracey has a true passion for people and loves supporting residents on their journey to creating a new home at Waterford. Outside of work Tracey lives with her husband and has two grown sons. You’ll often find them on outdoor adventures down at the beach or carving up the powdery slopes of the South Island.

Murray can fix almost anything thanks to his many years of experience in maintenance roles and as an Automotive Machinist. His days are kept busy with the upkeep of our premium village, amenities and grounds, assisting residents with odd jobs, and liaising with contractors as needed and managing the maintenance plan. Murray enjoys starting the morning with a circuit of the village for his routine checks, admiring the manicured gardens and groomed hedges along the way. The highlight of his role is receiving heartfelt thanks from residents when he completes a job for them. Murray is the proud dad of two children and has 3 grandchildren in Australia. In his free time, you’ll find him riding his motorcycle, at the gym, or pounding the pavements and tracks around the city.
