At Northern Beaches Council, where former mayor Michael Regan resigned after 15 years having been elected to State Parliament, councillors have elected a new mayor tonight.
The Manly Observer reported that it was a narrow vote of 8 to 7, in which Sue Heins was elected as the first female mayor of the council. Cr Heins was the deputy mayor, and that position will be filled at a later date.
Cr Regan is staying on as a councillor until the next elections in September next year.
