Councillor English made his Declaration of Office before Council’s Chief Executive Officer Dr Nikola Stepanov at 3.00pm on Wednesday 11 November, at Council’s offices on 45 Mabel Street Atherton, formally taking up the role.

Mayor Kevin Cardew said “I’d like to congratulate Greg English as the successful candidate winning the by-election for Division 1, and I look forward to working with Greg for the remainder of this term”.

“Greg will hit the ground running as his first two days will be on a road trip inspecting roads and visiting property owners in the southern parts of the shire in the Mt Garnet area”, the Mayor said.

Newly elected Councillor English said “I’d just like to thank everybody very much for their support. Hopefully I can repay the faith people have shown towards me. I’m looking forward to my work as a TRC Councillor”.

The by-election to elect the Councillor was triggered by former Division 1 Councillor Kevin Cardew being elected as Mayor in August this year, following the resignation of former Mayor Rod Marti for health reasons.
