"It is a privilege to serve my community as a Councillor and I’m humbled to lead the Council for the next 12 months as Mayor."

"Firstly, I wish to thank and acknowledge the tremendous work that Cr Middlemiss has done in his time as the Mayor. We have made significant progress on major Capital Works projects and a wide array of community events."

"As well as over-seeing project delivery, Cr Middlemiss advocated strongly for our region through both State and National election campaigns, ensuring our community’s voice was heard on both state-wide and national platforms."
