Glenelg Shire Council has its second new councillor inside a week, after the successful completion of a countback to fill the last extraordinary vacancy on the Council.
Robyn McDonald has been elected from the remaining eligible candidates and will take the seat vacated recently by Chrissy Hawker.
Ms McDonald had turned down the opportunity to become a councillor in recent countbacks due to work commitments.
But she told the Warrnambool Standard she had received strong encouragement from community members which helped convince her to accept the position this time.
The result comes after the election last week of former councillor Alistair McDonald after four countbacks to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Jayden Smith.
