LAST Thursday Greater Shepparton’s five new and four re-elected councillors took the oath of office for their four-year term.
Fern Summer, Steve Threlfall, Paul Wickham, Sam Spinks, Shane Sali, Rod Schubert, Kieron Eddy, Geoff Akers and Anthony Brophy were sworn in, meaning they can now officially act on behalf of Greater Shepparton City Council.
The nine councillors were buoyant about the challenges they would face over the next four years. Roads, rubbish and rates were all hot topics for voters in the lead-up to the election. It will be a watch-this-space to see how the new council fairs over the next four years.
Yesterday after we went to print, the nine councillors again met to elect the Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
