Strathbogie Shire Council has been hit by its fourth councillor resignation this term, and potentially a fifth.
It was reported on Friday by the Euroa Gazette that Lake Nagambie Ward councillor Reg Dickinson had resigned, citing a toxic environment.
The former councillor has been removed from the councillor listing on the Council website, replaced with a designation of “extraordinary vacancy.”
That same page also lists an “extraordinary vacancy” in Seven Creeks Ward. Shirley Saywell was elected to that position in August in a modified countback, replacing Kristy Hourigan who cited issues with gender bias in her resignation statement.
The Council is yet to make any formal statement about the status of either councillor.
