Cr Beatty and Cr Jones were the only nominations for their respective titles in the ballot.

This re-election continues an unchanged leadership team for the Council, with Cr Beatty sitting in the Mayoral seat since 2017, and Cr Jones entering his third term as Deputy Mayor.

"It's a privilege and an honour to be the leader of the Council team and it's a good team. We've done some great work over the last four years and I look forward to the next couple of months," Cr Beatty said.

With Cabonne's Local Government Elections due to take place on the rescheduled date of Saturday, December 4, 2021, Cr Beatty said he was keen to stand for mayor again.

"There's a lot of unfinished business there and a lot to continue on with," he said.

"We're well and truly underway with a number of projects that are in the planning phases, like obviously our community centre [in Molong] is under construction across the road, so would be good to see that out."

Other projects on the cards included the upgrade of Yeoval's recreational grounds and a new medical centre for Canowindra.

With the local election's deadline extended, Cr Beatty encouraged fellow Cabonne residents keen to run for Council to get their nominations in.

"It's always nice to have fresh ideas, naturally," he said. "[Being on Council] is quite rewarding."

Also re-elected to serve out the remainder of the term this week was Cabonne's deputy mayor. Cr Jones thanked his fellow councillors for their support, telling Cr Beatty: "Thank you for your ongoing leadership of this council".

Cr Anthony Durkin was also acknowledged for his time as deputy mayor from 2017-2019.

The current council will be in place until the end of this term.

Elections will take place on December, 4. Candidates have until November 3 to lodge nominations through the Council website.
