New Div 11 councillor sworn in
MORETON Bay’s newly elected councillor, Ellie Smith, was sworn in on October 10 to represent City of Moreton Bay’s Division 11.
During ceremony at Council Chambers in Strathpine, Cr Smith was congratulated and thanked her for the commitment she has already made by standing as a Councillor.
“We are looking forward to welcoming Ellie Smith to the Council table,” Mayor Peter Flannery said.
“We are fortunate that our Council is non-party aligned, and as a diverse group of voices, we are able to work constructively together to ensure our focus is on delivering a positive and thriving future for City of Moreton Bay.
“We too are residents and genuinely want the best for our community.”
Cr Ellie Smith said she was excited to join Moreton Bay Council and looked forward to working for Division 11 residents.
“I have lived locally in Division 11 since 2017 and made City of Moreton Bay home,” she said.
“As residents, we are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world with thriving communities.
“I will focus on listening to the community and championing the issues of concern to them.
“Together, we can continue to make Moreton Bay a better place for people to live, work and play.”
The Division 11 Byelection followed the resignation of Cr Darren Grimwade in July this year.
