Murrumbidgee Council Re-elects Mayor and Deputy Mayor

Following a vote at the ordinary Council meeting on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, the positions of Mayor and Deputy Mayor were determined.

Councillor Ruth McRae was re-elected as Mayor and Councillor Robert Black as Deputy Mayor, both unopposed.

Cr McRae said it had been a great honour to serve the Council and community since Murrumbidgee Council was formed in 2017.

“One of the highlights in my role as Mayor has been our success in securing government investment that has allowed us to proceed with a diverse range of major capital projects across the whole Murrumbidgee Council area,” Cr McRae said.

“These projects have made an enormous impact on the daily lives of our community.

“They have been instrumental in driving growth in our area and building on the qualities of our area as an exceptional place to live, work, and play.” Cr Black said the role of Deputy Mayor was a rewarding one that he had undertaken since the Council’s inception. He said he looked forward to continuing to build on the progress already made in achieving community goals and expectations. Cr McRae and Cr Black will hold their positions until the next ordinary election of Councillors, but not exceeding two years.
