Hervey Bay Local Council By-Election Result
It seems that the successful candidate at last Saturday’s by-election was Sue Brooks and the Returning Officer will officially announce the results later this afternoon.
Ms Brooks based her campaign on a very conservative approach to future tourist developments here in Hervey Bay and so her election raises some interesting questions about the thinking of the voters in the city.
Whether or not she will actually have much of an impact on the Council and the way it operates remains to be seen but it will be interesting to see what transpires over the coming months.
It would be nice if Ms Brooks continued to communicate with the electorate - at the moment it’s almost as if members of Council are enveloped in a cone of silence from the time they are elected.
