The new look Denmark Shire Council sat for the first time yesterday at the October Ordinary Council Meeting presided over by Shire President Ceinwen Gearon.
At the commencement of the meeting, Cr Gearon was re-elected unopposed as the Denmark Shire President for another two years, with Cr Kingsley Gibson elected as the new Deputy Shire President.

“I’m sure you will enjoy the experience of being on Council,” Cr Gearon said.

“I want to acknowledge Cr Allen in particular who was a very capable and diligent Deputy Shire President and contributing member of Council.”
“I’d also like to acknowledge Crs Bowley, Osborne and Seeney who each played important roles on our Council during their many collective years of service as Councillors.”
