From the Lord Mayor's Office
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting and congratulating the 2024 Kawasaki Junior Culture Art and Essay Prize winners.
On Monday night, in front of a public gallery packed with family and friends, I and my 12 Councillor colleagues took the Oath/Affirmation of Office at an Extraordinary Meeting of Council.
It was an honour to join my fellow Councillors at an Extraordinary Council meeting on Monday to take our Oath of Office and to elect Cr Linda Campbell as the Deputy Lord Mayor of Wollongong for the next year.
