Newly-elected Lake Macquarie City Council Mayor, Adam Shultz says he is excited to lead the organisation for the next four years.
The NSW Electoral Commission declared the successful candidates across the city’s three wards last week, with four new Councillors joining the Council.
Mayor Shultz secured more than 60% of the Mayoral vote to secure top spot for the next term, which runs through to September 2028.
“I am confident that we can collaborate effectively for the benefit of our city regardless of political background,” he said.
“With many exciting projects and initiatives on the horizon, I strongly believe the spirit of cooperation demonstrated in previous terms of Council will continue.”
Mayor Shultz congratulated all returning Councillors, and those newly elected, and thanked outgoing Mayor, Kay Fraser, for her strong leadership over the past eight years.
“I look forward to building on Kay’s achievements as Mayor of Lake Macquarie, and delivering for the 220,000 residents of Lake Macquarie, as well as all the people who come here to visit, work and play,” he said.
The first Ordinary Council Meeting of the new term will be held on 14 October.
