Cr Nigel Hutton is stepping down from Livingstone Shire Council at the end of March after 9 years as a councillor, including two years as deputy mayor.
Mayor Andy Ireland has paid tribute to Cr Hutton for his “significant contribution to the Livingstone community”, describing him as a strong force within the Council chamber.
As the resignation takes effect inside the final 12 months of the current term, the Council will appoint a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy.
