Bradley Thomas, Hepburn Shire CEO, said he congratulated Councillors-elect on their election to Council.

“It is an honor to represent this community, and we look forward to supporting and working closely with Councillors over the next four years. I wish the group all the best in their roles.”

“We look forward to a productive four years ahead. We acknowledge the contribution of our returning Councillors, and warmly welcome those representing Hepburn Shire for the first time,” said Mr Thomas.

Councillors will be sworn in on 14 November 2024, and commence their induction as required by the Local Government Act 2020. Council will consider the election of a Mayor and Deputy Mayor on 26 November 2024, before ordinary Council meetings resume in December.

Council would like to thank all candidates for their commitment and putting their hands up to represent our community.
