Mr Cadogan's nomination was lodged this morning, making him the first nomination for Central Otago Mayor this election.
He said he had "worked hard" to fulfil the promises he made at the last election, "which were to be available and to be Mayor to all parts and all people of the district".
Mr Cadogan said council this term had strong community engagement, and was also facing up to its environmental responsibilities, while allowing for future development.
But Mr Cadogan said housing affordability and availability were reaching crisis point, and he wanted to keep working with the Central Otago Affordable Housing Trust he had formed, and other agencies over the issue.
Mr Cadogan said there were many issues facing Central Otago, including the Manuherikia River minimum flow outcome. He said he had challenged both the Otago Regional Council and the Government on aspects of the "incredibly complicated and difficult" minimum flow process.
And he said working toward "a more sustainable Central Otago while maintaining a robust economy" would remain a challenge, and one for which "the whole community" had to take responsibility.
Mr Cadogan's brother Bryan is bidding for a fourth term as Clutha mayor.
