The City of Adelaide has held its election with results now revealed.
The City of Adelaide would like to congratulate Dr Jane Lomax-Smith on being elected interim Lord Mayor.
City of Adelaide CEO, Clare Mockler, thanked all the candidates who participated in the 2022 City of Adelaide elections, congratulating all successful candidates and also thanking those who were unsuccessful.
“Overall, this election saw 45 nominations across all areas of the city, up from 38 in the previous election,” Ms Mockler said.
“This increase in participation shows a strong interest from our community to contribute to the civic leadership of the City of Adelaide.
“In particular, I extend my thanks to Sandy Verschoor who has led a Council that has made significant city-shaping decisions while keeping a firm eye on strengthening the city’s financial situation and delivering the brilliant services our community expects, particularly while dealing with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Ms Mockler also congratulated Lord Mayor-elect Dr Jane Lomax-Smith on her election.
“Jane has dedicated much of her career in service to the City and to the community of South Australia,” Ms Mockler said.
“Jane’s knowledge and experience, including previous terms as Lord Mayor and Ministerial roles with State Government, will allow her to hit the ground running and, in Jane’s own words, build on what’s best about Adelaide.
“I, along with my executive team, look forward to working closely with Jane to keep delivering for the city and North Adelaide.”
The City of Adelaide will continue providing updates as the results of the Area, North Ward, Central Ward and South Ward are declared.
