Cr Claire Ewart-Kennedy elected Strathbogie Mayor

Strathbogie Shire welcomes Councillor Claire Ewart-Kennedy as its Mayor for the next 12 months.

Cr Ewart-Kennedy was elected to the position by her peers at tonight’s Council meeting.

She said she was honoured to have the role as Mayor as she was a proud rural girl who now follows in the commitment to public service of her mother and father-in law.

Cr Ewart-Kennedy said she would work together with her councillor colleagues for the needs and concerns of the Strathbogie community.

Cr Scott Jeffery was elected as Deputy Mayor for the next 12 months.

Strathbogie Shire’s Interim CEO Tim Tamlin congratulated the new councillors following their election and said he looks forward to working with them into the new year.
