Gilgandra Shire Council candidates announced
Candidates for the NSW local government elections have been announced
Candidates for the NSW local government elections have been announced and ten residents have officially registered for the Gilgandra Shire Council (GSC).
Nine candidates are needed to fill all seats of the GSC.
Under the Local Government Act, if the number of candidates is less than or equal to the number of vacant seats on council, those who nominated are automatically elected in an ‘uncontested election’.
This election period, a surplus of candidates for council have nominated for seats on GSC, meaning a regular election will be held in September this year.
Nominations for the 2024 local government elections closed on Wednesday 14 August.
The majority of current councilors have nominated themselves again this year.
In addition, two residents not currently on council will run for a seat.
Nominees for GSC are:
Amber Bunter
Paul Mann
Douglas Batten
Ian Freeth
Gail Babbage
Gregory Peart
Madeline Foran
Brian Mockler
Ashley Walker
Nicholas White
