Last night a Special Council Meeting took place for the official swearing-in of our newly elected Councillors, following the outcomes of the Local Government Elections on 18 October 2025.

The roles of Shire President and Deputy Shire President were also confirmed during this meeting - we are pleased to share that Cr Vivienne MacCarthy was not only re-elected by the community to continue serving on Council, but has also been elected unopposed as Shire President, resuming the role from her previous term. Cr Alex Purich, one of our newest members of Council, was also elected unopposed as Deputy Shire President.

Congratulations to all of our new Elected Members, and thank you once again to all who participated in the Elections, whether by nominating or voting.
