With just one week to go until the local government elections, we want to know how Burdekin residents will be voting.
Long-serving former Burdekin Shire mayor Lyn McLaughlin has thrown her hat back in the ring to contest the upcoming local election with present mayor Bill Lowis who’s held the role for the last four years.
In stark contrast to the two person competition for the Mayor’s seat, a total of 20 candidates have nominated for the six positions on the council. In ballot order they are: Suzette Wallace; Terry Cross; Chris Hyden; Ted Bawden; Tony Goddard; John Woods; Roger Piva; Pierina Dalle Cort; Arron Klumpp; Lyndy McCathie; Raelene Grantz; Eddie Smallwood; Des Viero; Cheryl Platt; Sue Perry; Richard Wall; Larry Bradford; Uli Liessmann; John Bonnano and and Ross Lewis.

- PCYC, 164 MacMillan Street, Ayr
