Gwydir Shire has lost one of its most dedicated community servants with Councillor Marilyn Dixon’s resignation due to medical reasons.
First elected in 2012, Dixon served four terms and was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2017.
Her vacancy will be filled through a countback election, with results expected on March 17th.
Mayor Tiffany Galvin says Marilyn’s contribution to the Shire will never be forgotten. She was a life member of multiple community organisations and a tireless advocate for the region.
