A NEW deputy mayor will be appointed by Ipswich councillors this week with the role expected to go to another council newcomer instead of the two most experienced figures at the table.
The position is rotated every 12 months over the four-year term with former banking and finance lawyer Marnie Doyle voted into the role during the new council’s first meeting in April last year.
She received votes from eight of the nine councillors to win the position, with councillor Sheila Ireland instead backing Division 2 councillor Nicole Jonic. Ipswich Deputy Mayor Marnie Doyle will step down from the role this week.
