GEORGINA Oxley has been elected Kingston mayor for the third time.

Oxley is one of just three councillors who were re-elected at the Kingston Council elections. At a meeting last Wednesday, 13 November, she narrowly defeated Hadi Saab to win the mayoral race. Oxley’s nomination to be mayor was supported by councillors Caroline White, Sarah O’Donnell, Jane Agirtan, Georgia Erevnidis, and Chris Howe. Saab received votes from Chris Hill, Tess Law, Kirralee Ashworth-Collett, and Tony Athanasopoulos.

Oxley said that her focus over the next 12 months would be “making Kingston the most liveable, safe, prosperous, sustainable, and connected community possible and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.” “We have a truly remarkable community, and I will be working everyday to make our city an even better place to live, work and play,” she said. “I am committed to maintaining open and transparent lines of communication with our community and ensuring council puts them first.

“We have a very diverse, energetic, and passionate group ready to work alongside our community and with so many fresh faces I am committed to being a collaborative leader as we deliver on the community’s priorities over the next 12 months and beyond. I’m passionate about our community and excited about what the future holds for our city.”
Chris Howe was elected deputy mayor. He said “I look forward to getting to know all my fellow councillors better, finding common ground and creating innovative solutions for positive change.”

“We know we have a lot to learn in our first weeks and months, but we also have buckets of enthusiasm and fresh ideas to bring to the table,” he said. “I am also excited to partner with even more community groups, local businesses, traders, sports clubs, and other community members throughout the year and across this council term.”
