Murray River Council will continue under the leadership of Mayor Chris Bilkey and a new Deputy in Councillor Frank Crawley (pictured) following Tuesday’s Deputy Mayor election.
Councillor Crawley nominated for the role of Deputy Mayor after the position was vacated by former Deputy, Nikki Cohen.
Councillor Crawley was elected unopposed.
Mayor Chris Bilkey congratulated Councillor Crawley on his new role and thanked Councillor Cohen for her contribution as Deputy over the past two years.
“Councillor Cohen has showed great commitment to her role as Deputy and will continue to hold an important role in the chambers,” said Mayor Bilkey.
“I also welcome Cr Crawley into his new position. Murray River Council is progressing with positive momentum in many areas, so it’s a great time to be a member of Council,” he said.
