The City of Adelaide wishes to thank Councillor Elliott, Councillor Hou, Councillor Li and Councillor Noon for their service as Central Ward councillors since November 2022.
We will commence preparing for a supplementary election in collaboration with the Electoral Commission of South Australia.
In the meantime, the four Central Ward positions will remain vacant.
In accordance with the Act, Council meetings can still go ahead with the Lord Mayor and seven remaining Elected Members present (quorum will be five).
Supplementary election costs will be met by the City of Adelaide with costs to be determined.
In the meantime, I have asked the CEO to prepare advice for the Elected Members so that we are fully informed about the impacts of the order.
Immediately after the order of the Court was known I called for a special meeting of the Council to be convened on Monday evening.
Jane Lomax-Smith
Lord Mayor
