New faces on Meander Valley Council
There are five new faces on Meander Valley Council: Lochie Daunauf, Ben Dudman, Anne-Marie Loader, Barry Lee and Kevin House from Prospect Vale.
Mayor Johnson said that he was “humbled and honoured to be re-elected for a second term and wanted to thank all those candidates that ran and congratulations to those that were elected.”
He hoped that the next four years are not like the last and looked forward to major developments coming online.
He pointed to the Bracknell Hall, Deloraine Squash Courts, Prospect Vale Park and the potential for investing $3.35M which was recently secured from the Commonwealth for the Deloraine Racecourse Precinct.
He particularly wanted to acknowledge the work that all our staff did in the last few years.
