Hobart has officially welcomed the city’s 57th Lord Mayor, with veteran former journalist, Charles Wooley, formally sworn in at a ceremony this week.
The 78-year-old former 60 Minutes reporter won 55% of the final vote after promising to make “Hobart for Hobartians”.
Joining Lord Mayor Wooley in taking the oath of office were City of Hobart Councillors Bill Harvey, Mike Dutta, Zelinda Sherlock, John Kelly, Louise Elliot, Ryan Posselt, Simon Behrakis and Harvey Lennon.
The newly elected Council will meet for the first time on Monday 16 November, where councillors will vote to appoint a new Deputy Lord Mayor.
