Following this, at the Inaugural Meeting on Tuesday the 29^th of November, Council elected Councillor Tim Moffat as the new Deputy Mayor for the next four years.

Five Councillors were re-elected in the 2022 Council Elections and will have four new members join them. 16 nominations were received; six in Field Ward and ten in Light Ward.

Once again, the elections saw strong voter participation in the Yankalilla District, with 2,365 eligible voters casting a vote. At a voting rate of 51%, that puts our community well in front of our neighbouring councils (City of Victor Harbor 46%, and  Alexandrina Council 44%), demonstrating how engaged our community is.

Congratulations to all Councillors and the Mayor who will steer our community for the next four years.
