Gympie Regional Council has followed in the footsteps of the South Burnett Regional Council by experimenting with a “temporary” Deputy Mayor.<\/p>\n

At the SBRC’s post-election meeting on April 4, it was revealed councillors were considering adopting a policy where a new Deputy Mayor would be appointed about every eight months.<\/p>\n

The first SBRC appointment was Cr Danita Potter.<\/p>\n

At its post-election meeting on Thursday, the GRC voted to appoint Cr Dolly Jensen as Deputy Mayor for the first 12 months, after which the position would be reconsidered.<\/p>\n

The new 2024-28 Gympie Regional Council is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mayor – Glen Hartwig<\/li>\n
  • Division 1 – Cr Jess Milne<\/li>\n
  • Division 2 – Cr Dolly Jensen<\/li>\n
  • Division 3 – Cr Shane Warnes<\/li>\n
  • Division 4 – Cr Michael Curran<\/li>\n
  • Division 5 – Cr Allona Lahn<\/li>\n
  • Division 6 – Cr Warren McEwan<\/li>\n
  • Division 7 – Cr Warren Polley<\/li>\n
  • Division 8 – Cr Gordon Maudsley<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    North Burnett Regional Council held its post-election meeting on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Division 1 councillor Melinda Jones was elected Deputy Mayor and reappointed chair of the Local Disaster Management Group.<\/p>\n

    Cr Jones is well-known in the South Burnett through her role as secretary of BIEDO and former general manager of the Red Earth Community Foundation.<\/p>\n
