November 15th, 2023Christine Walker to fill Macedon Ranges councillor vacancy

The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) has declared Christine Walker as the successful candidate
to fill Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s extraordinary South Ward Councillor vacancy, following a countback held online on Monday.
The VEC-led countback was held to fill the vacancy left by the recent resignation of Anne Moore, with
all formal South Ward votes from the 2020 Macedon Ranges Shire Council Election redistributed to
candidates who were unsuccessful in 2020, but still eligible to be elected.
Macedon Ranges Shire CEO Bernie O’Sullivan: “I warmly welcome Ms Walker to Council, and look forward to working closely with her to deliver positive outcomes for the South Ward and the
Macedon Ranges community.”
Mayor Annette Death: “On behalf of all Councillors, I’d also like to welcome Ms Walker to Council
and I know we’ll all endeavour to support her as she transitions to the Councillor role.”
Ms Walker will commence her role as councillor after being officially sworn in today (15 November).
