East Ward councillor Annette Death has been re-elected as mayor of the Macedon Ranges Shire Council for the final year of the current four-year council term.
West Ward councillor Janet Pearce has been elected as deputy mayor for the same period, which will run through to the next council elections in October 2024.
Cr Death, who was first elected mayor in November 2022, said it was a privilege to be elected for a second term.
“I’m excited to continue the great work that has already been started alongside deputy mayor Pearce, my fellow councillors and our executive team,” she said.
“I’d like to thank my family, my fellow councillors, council staff and the community for their ongoing support, and I’d particularly like to acknowledge Cr [Jennifer] Anderson for her contributions as deputy mayor in the last term.”
Cr Pearce said she was proud to have been elected deputy mayor and anticipated a strong year ahead.
“I’d like to congratulate Mayor Death on her re-election and thank my fellow councillors for the privilege of being elected deputy mayor,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to working together with Mayor Death and our team of councillors, the chief executive and our executive team, and importantly our community, to achieve some wonderful outcomes in our final year of this term.”
