New councillor for Colac Otway Shire Council
March 1, 2023
Max Arnott has been elected as a councillor for Colac Otway Shire Council, after the Victorian Electoral Commission conducted a countback of votes at 10am today.
The election manager, Charmaine Morel, today declared the result after a countback of votes from the general election held in October 2020.
Only those candidates who were unsuccessful at the general election and who were still eligible to be elected were included in the countback process.
The extraordinary vacancy arose due to the resignation of Councillor Jamie Bell.
