Council’s Liberal-ALP alliance to be tested by Mayoral elections next month 

The state government has set mid-term Mayoral elections for next month that will test the Hawkesbury City Council’s unusual Liberal Party-Australian Labor Party alliance.

The elections must be held in September, according to a public notice issued by the Office of Local Government, the NSW councils’ regulator. Due to the delay in the last local government elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic, whoever is elected mayor will only have a term of one year, rather than the usual two year term. The new Mayor’s term will end with next year’s 14 September Council elections.

Hawkesbury Gazette to close after 135 years
