LLS boards finalised

Unsuccessful candidates were John Hawkins from Lankeys Creek and Geoffrey Lowry from North Albury.

In the Riverina LLS, successful candidates were Elizabeth Stott from Gogeldrie, Robert Matthews from Hay and Alison Hamilton from Gregadoo.

Unsuccessful were Timothy Findlay of Young, Robert McCormack of Junee and Anthony Shepheard of Cootamundra.

The elected members join appointed members on the respective boards and play a crucial role identifying priorities and working within their communities to help shape plans, programs and services.

Elections were held in all 11 LLS regions across the state, with 116 candidates in total.

Thirty-four were elected across those 11 boards, in an election which showed a surge in participation.

There was a 23 per cent increase in voter turnout compared to 2020.
