The status quo will remain in place with two of the main leadership roles at Coolamon Shire Council remaining unchanged following last week’s Mayor/Deputy Mayor election at the September council meeting. The Local Government Act requires a mayor to be elected by councillors for a two-year term. Following his unopposed re-election, Cr McCann was honoured to continue his role as Mayor. He reflected on the achievements the council had made in recent years and attributed them to the effort and dedication of his colleagues. “I thank everyone for their confidence and support,” Cr McCann said. “I don’t take it lightly. “I think we have a great team around this table. “Everyone here has the same passion and the same desire to work for the community. “I sincerely thank every one of you for that and I look forward to the next two years, continuing to kick goals across Coolamon Shire.” While Cr McCann will continue his role as Mayor for the two-year term, there was also no challenge for the Deputy Mayor position. As only one nomination was received, this resulted in Cr Alan White retaining his role as the Deputy Mayor for another two-year term.
