Trevor Errol Gready is South West Ward’s new representative on Northern Grampians Shire Council, after a by-election was held for the single-councillor ward.

Mr Gready was among three candidates standing for the by-election, and he will represent South West Ward on Northern Grampians Shire Council until the next general council election in October 2024.

The Election Manager, Clarissa Hyland, declared the result at 5 pm on Friday at Stawell Town Halll.

The by-election was triggered because no candidates nominated for South West Ward in the recent Northern Grampians Shire Council general election.
