Local Council Election Results – There’s good news for Creatives
Southern Tablelands Arts works with six contributing councils in the Southern Tablelands and Highlands of NSW. The 2021 Elections saw a large change to serving Councillors across our region.
With new councils across the region STA is excited to continue our strong support for local council.
STA are delighted to announce two of our Delegates stepping into the role of Mayor; Mayor Marg Roles in Hilltops and Mayor Pam Kenist in Upper Lachlan. Two tireless workers for our communities and strong supporting advocates for Arts and Culture.
Below we’ve compiled an exhaustive list of the new serving Councillors including QPRC who we hope to welcome back as STA members soon.
