Moyne welcomes new councillors
MOYNE Shire has welcomed four new councillors to the table following the recent local government elections.
Councillors Lisa Ryan, Susan Taylor, Lloyd Ross and Myra Murrihy were this week sworn-in at a special ceremony in Port Fairy on Tuesday morning.
They will join re-elected councillors Jim Doukas, Karen Foster and Jordan Lockett.
Moyne Shire chief executive Mark Eversteyn expressed his thanks to outgoing councillors James Purcell after a total 10 years service, Daniel Meade (eight years), Ian Smith (eight years) and Damian Gleeson (four years) for their valuable contributions.
“I thank the outgoing councillors for their dedication and commitment to the shire, and congratulate those councillors re-elected for another term,” Mr Eversteyn said.
“Being a member of a local council can be both demanding and rewarding, so we thank all those who put their hand up to represent their community.
“On behalf of all shire employees, I welcome the new council and look forward to continuing to work towards a strong and prosperous community.”
Moyne Shire election results were declared by the Victorian Electoral commission last Friday, November 8.
Councillors will elect a new mayor at the ordinary council meeting to be held in Mortlake on Tuesday, November 26.
