Mansfield Shire welcomes new Councillors

Published on 08 November 2024

The results of the local government elections for Mansfield Shire Council were declared on Friday 8 November 2024, naming the five Councillors who will sit for the next four year term.

The new Councillors are James Tehan, Steve Rabie, Mandy Treasure, Bonnie Clark and Tim Berenyi.

Kirsten Alexander, Chief Executive Officer of Mansfield Shire Council, congratulated the Councillors-elect.

“I am delighted to welcome the new Councillors and look forward to working with the new Council over the next four years,” she said.

“On behalf of the Mansfield Shire community, I want to thank everyone who stood for Council. It is a great commitment to put yourself forward to serve the community for a four-year term.”

Councillors will be inducted into local government and Mansfield Shire Council with a rigorous induction process. The Local Government Act 2020 has new guidelines that determine significant sections of mandatory training and a model code of conduct for all councillors.

In coming months, the new Council will also be consulting with the community to understand its key priorities for the development of the Council Plan – the four year strategic action plan for Council to achieve during its term.

Information about all candidates, including the statements made by the Councillors-elect, can be found on the VEC website at Nominations | Victorian Electoral Commission.
