No election needed for community boards

Monday, 10 January 2011

The Wallacetown and Wyndham Community Boards will have a full board for the next three years after one nomination was received for each of them in the recent byelection.

Electoral Officer Phil Culling said no election is needed as each of the boards had one vacancy and the two nominations filled them. Stephen John Geary is the new board member for Wyndham and Rae Wilson is the new board member for Wallacetown.

"Unfortunately we did not receive any nominations for the vacant seat on the Edendale Community Board," Mr Culling said.

"The board can now co-opt someone on to the board."

The nominations closed for the byelection on December 23 2010.
