Congratulations to the newly elected Byron Council for 2024–28!
And also thanks to all those who contested as candidates.
Mayor Sarah Ndiaye says her priorities are, ‘the housing crisis and ensuring affordable homes for all; environmental protection and bold climate action; supporting local arts and creative industries; improving public transport and sustainable infrastructure and amplifying diverse voices, including youth and First Nations people’.
She added, ‘We’ve promised a more transparent, compassionate, and effective Council, and that’s exactly what we intend to deliver. We’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work on the issues that matter most to our community.’
Here’s hoping for improved governance – for another four years! Let’s go!
