RANGES Ward councillor Leticia Wilmot has been elected mayor of Cardinia Shire Council.
Cr Wilmot said in a statement that she was looking forward to her new role as mayor.
“I’m very excited about the year to come and I’m sure there will be much to learn along the way,” she said.
She also hoped to involve the community in the role by inviting councillors and residents to participate in ceremonial openings and launches, when appropriate.
Cr Wilmot could not be reached for comment but has previously identified the need for fairer funding for the outer suburbs as a key issue for the Cardinia Shire.
Cr Wilmot will replace Cr Graeme Moore, who will now serve as Cardinia’s deputy mayor.
Cr Wilmot is the only the second female to represent Cardinia Shire as mayor.
