Mayoral election deferred until October
The position of Fremantle Mayor will remain unfilled until the ordinary local government elections in October following approval from the Electoral Commissioner.
The Mayoral position became vacant when Mayor Brad Pettitt was elected to represent the South Metropolitan region in the Legislative Council at the state election in March.
Last month Fremantle Council voted to seek the approval of Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy to allow the City of Fremantle’s Mayoral vacancy to remain unfilled until October.
The Commissioner this week advised that in accordance with section 4.17(2) of the Local Government Act 1995 his approval was given to defer filling the vacancy.
