Council wishes to congratulate the following candidates for their successful election to Bellingen Shire Council:

Cr Stephen Allan

Cr Jo Brotherton

Cr Joanne Cook

Cr Jennie Fenton

Cr Stephen Glyde

Cr Dominic King

Cr Ellie Tree

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, Councillors (including Mayors) are required to take an oath or affirmation of office at or before the first meeting of Council after being elected.  We anticipate this to be conducted at the Ordinary meeting on 25 January 2022.

We look forward to working with the Councillors in their roles of representing the views and needs of the community and residents and take this occasion to thank them in advance for their service and commitment to our Shire.  While the role can at times be challenging, it is a wonderful opportunity to make a significant contribution to our local community and continue to move Bellingen Shire towards our shared vision.

We would also like to thank the previous Councillors for their contribution and service during the previous term and acknowledge this year’s unsuccessful candidates for their nominations and interest in civic service.
