Mayor of Bathurst

Gary Rush,
On behalf of City Council and the citizens of Bathurst, I welcome you to our official world wide web site.

Bathurst is situated on the Bay of Chaleur in northeastern New Brunswick. We have a population of approximately 13,000 within the city boundaries and a greater area population in excess of 80,000. We are proud of our quality of life.

While we are multicultural, the prominent two cultures would be French and English.

Natural Resources have been our strength since our settlement as a Village in 1826. Recently, we have diversified because of our central location to be the shopping and service center of Northeast New Brunswick.

Hopefully you will take the time to browse and explore our visionary community and discover what we have to offer.

Mayor of Nowra-Bomaderry

Joanna Gash (born 21 July 1944), an Australian politician, was a member of the

House of Representatives representing the Division of Gilmore for the Liberal Party from 1996 to 2013. In 2012, Gash was directly elected as the Mayor of the City of Shoalhaven, a local government area in the south-eastern coastal region of New South Wales.

Gash was born in Groningen in the Netherlands, and emigrated to Australia when she was six. She was educated at Institute of Administration in Sydney. Before entering politics she was a Regional Manager with the Tourism Commission of New South Wales, a guest house co-proprietor, and a Councillor of the Wingecarribee Shire Council. She was for many years a scripture and Sunday School teacher and spent many weekends at the Church of England Camps at the Port Hacking River (Camp Howard).

Gash was elected to Federal Parliament at the 1996 federal election.

In January 2012, Gash announced that she would not be contesting the next federal election. At the same time, she announced her intention to stand for mayor at the Shoalhaven City Council elections, due to be held in September 2012. Gash was successful, winning the directly elected role with 63.19% of the vote. Gash also led a ticket that saw nine other Councillors elected to the thirteen–member Shoalhaven City Council. Following her election as mayor, there was criticism about her constitutional ability to hold office as a federal Member of Parliament and to hold an office of profit under the crown, as Mayor. Gash vigorously defended her position.

Mayor of Warrnambool

Cr. Kylie Gaston, Mayor

With her family watching on, councillor Gaston won a 4-3 vote, defeating Cr Peter Hulin who was the only other nominee. Cr Michael Neoh did not renominate, ending three consecutive terms. 

She gained the support of Crs Neoh, Jacinta Ermacora, Rob Askew and herself, while Cr Hulin received votes from Crs Brian Kelson, Peter Sycopoulis and himself. 

Cr Gaston, who was nominated by Cr Ermacora, said she was excited to have the honour to serve as the city’s mayor and pledged to work hard and with “great zest”. 

Cr Hulin, who was nominated by Cr Sycopoulis, said he was enthusiastic about working with Cr Gaston and wished her the best. 

“I believe, with you as mayor, the fear of dread I have felt prior to attending meetings in the past will be eliminated,” Cr Hulin said. 

Cr Kelson said it would be strange for him, having only worked under the stewardship of Cr Neoh, and he hoped to see a different style of “mayorship”. 

Cr Sycopoulis said he was glad to see an end to the perpetuity of the mayors job over the past seven years, while Cr Ermacora said councillor Gaston would make Warrnambool proud. 

Cr Askew said Cr Gaston had worked hard to make sure she was involved across the community and said he looked forward to working with her. 

Cr Neoh said he felt one chapter had finished and a new one was beginning and wished Cr Gaston the best. 

EARLIER: COUNCILLOR Kylie Gaston has been elected mayor of Warrnambool at Monday night’s annual meeting of council. 

Cr Gaston was nominated by Cr Jacinta Ermacora while Cr Peter Hulin was nominated by Cr Sycopoulis. 

She won with a 4-3 vote.

Mayor of Warragul-Drouin

Baw Baw Shire is divided into four wards - Drouin, Mount Worth, North and Warragul wards. There are two Councillors elected for each ward, with three being elected for the Warragul ward, making a total of nine Councillors.

Councillors are elected to lead and represent the whole community. As your local elected representative, they advocate on behalf of residents and work to assist them. As members of Council, individual Councillors have responsibilities to other Councillors and the community.

Councillors' responsibilities include approving the Council Plan and Council Budget. They have a responsibility, as stewards of community resources, to manage the Council's assets, provide a wide range of services and facilities, and ensure finances are allocated in the best interests of the whole community.

Mayor of Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Ron Yuryevich

If Kalgoorlie-Boulder has a rich and colourful past, it has an even more exciting future.

Hard work over a number of years by this council has made our city a family friendly city nestled in the wonderful Goldfields woodlands with its array of stunning eucalypts and plants. When people suggest Kalgoorlie-Boulder is in a desert I laugh and tell them: “So you haven’t been there. Come and be pleasantly surprised.”

We are a green city that is in line for national sustainability awards.

Whether you are single, a young married couple or facing retirement we have the lifestyle for you.

While I have no empirical evidence to support the following statement, I truly believe for its size Kalgoorlie-Boulder has produced more millionaires than anywhere in Australia and that is continuing. Gold is once again the darling of the stock exchange, new mines are opening and nickel and rare earth mines add to the mix

Business opportunities here are endless, mining is big business and many come here in their profession such as in the police or teaching, see an opportunity and end up staying and raising a family.

And as far as education goes we have everything; public and private, primary and secondary and our world-renown School of Mines and now the Goldfields Institute of Technology.

On top of that if your kids don’t want to go onto university then the opportunity for your son or daughter to get an apprenticeship or traineeship is very high.

Our sporting and leisure facilities for a population of 30,000 are something we are proud of and there is a vibrant and expanding arts community.

The one thing we don’t have is a beach and even there I see a positive; no sharks!
