Sarah Hathway is the new Windermere Ward councillor for Greater Geelong.
Ms Hathway was elected to the role on June 28 after Kylie Grzybek resigned from the position on May 29, following a countback conducted by the Victorian Electrical Commission (VEC).
Geelong Mayor Trent Sullivan said he congratulated Ms Hathway on joining the council and thanked Ms Grzybek for her service to the municipality since 2017.
“Kylie did a mountain of work across Greater Geelong, and especially the northern suburbs,” he said.
“We thank her for the valuable contribution she made across the region and the great legacy she has left our community.
“On behalf of Council, I welcome Sarah to the team and I’m looking forward to working with her to represent the local community.”
The VEC conducted a countback and reviewed all the formal votes from the Windermere Ward in 2020, redistributing all votes to the remaining eligible candidates from the general election.
Ms Hathway was sworn into office at a ceremony at Wurriki Nyal.
