Cumberland City Council has announced its newly-elected Mayor, Ola Hamed and Deputy Mayor, Councillor Michael Zaiter, following an Extraordinary Meeting of Council.
Mayor Hamed, who has served as a Cumberland Councillor for seven years, will lead the Council as Mayor for the next two years.
“I’m truly honoured to be sworn in as the Mayor of Cumberland City Council and as the first ever Muslim woman of Lebanese heritage, alongside of course Deputy Mayor Zaiter who also happens to be of Lebanese heritage,” said the new Mayor.
“Our Labor and our Liberal partnership reflects our commitment to a prosperous future for the residents of Cumberland. One of my immediate priorities is to unify this chamber, and indeed the community, because that’s what civic leadership should always be about.”
