Topic: Mayoral candidate interview
Enquiry
Reporter sought our assistance to facilitate an interview with Cr Tapsell regarding her mayoral candidacy.
Response
Reporter was informed that the council organisation is not involved in assisting candidates with their election campaigns or communications relating to their campaigns and that she would need to contact candidates directly re interview requests relating to their candidacy.
We also noted that nominations open 15 July and close 12 August so that’s when we will know for certain who all the candidates will be.
