Former deputy mayor of Fraser Coast Regional Council has announced he will step down as a councillor from 9th August.
Darren Everard announced his resignation at a council meeting today.
He said it is now time to focus on other pursuits and skill sets, having served as a councillor since 2012.
As there is less than 12 months until the next elections in March 2024, there will be a call for nominations from the general public to fill the vacant position in Division 7 within two months.
