Cr Singh is still refusing to resign despite calls from his fellow councillors, many community members, and the former local government minister Nick Staikos.

It follows revelations that Cr Singh provided a character reference to a person ultimately convicted of child sex offences in 2024 – prior to Cr Singh being elected to the Council.

Cr Robert Szatkowski says he has joined with Crs Peter Maynard and Cr Susan McIntyre to call the meeting under the Council’s Governance Rules.

In a statement, he said it was not a step being taken lightly, and that it was disappointing that the matter had reached this point.

Even if the Council passes the no confidence motion, it cannot force Cr Singh to resign the mayoralty.
