All incumbent council for Pyrenees Shire

WHILE only two wards faced elections, the Pyrenees Shire Council recently welcomed five past councillors back into the office.

Elections were held in both the Avoca Ward, in which Ron Eason was re-elected, and in the Ercildoune Ward which David Clark as returned.

The other three councillors Tanya Kehoe, Damian Ferrari and Robert Vance from the De Cameron, Mount Emu and Beaufort wards respectively ran unopposed and without election.

Pyrenees Shire CEO Jim Nolan said he wanted to congratulate all five councillors for committing to another term serving the region and its residents.

“The organization is looking forward to working with the councillors and continuing to make Pyrenees the best place to live, work or invest,” he said.

“I would like to extend my thanks to election candidates Jo Dunlop for Avoca and Simon Tol in Ercildoune for their willingness to stand up for their communities.

“All five Councillors will take the oath of office, at which time they will also elect a Mayor.”
