Council’s CEO, Anthony McMahon said all women interested in becoming a candidate in the 2024 Local Government Elections are encouraged to attend the forum.

“Being a Councillor is a rewarding opportunity that allows you to influence important decisions, develop skills and engage directly with your community.
“There are no special qualifications to become a Councillor other than a desire and enthusiasm to serve your community.
