The Local Government Area's new council was sworn-in at Cabonne's Council Chambers in Molong and Cr Pull says he's looking forward to the challenges ahead and working with the eight other councillors over the next three-year term.
"It felt like a really good team environment, you could just feel it," Cr Pull said.
"There was a real positive attitude in the room and with everyone bringing their own skillset."
Newly appointed councillors for Cabonne Council undertook their Oath of Office at the council chambers, where the nine elected members are eager to represent residents across shire.
"I'm looking forward to working with the mayor, fellow councillors and staff to continue to ensure that Cabonne is a sustainable and prosperous area to live in and visit," re-elected Jamie Jones said.
The three new council members - Andrew Rawson, Kathryn O'Ryan, and Andrew Pull - have joined Cabonne's six existing councillors, Kevin Beatty, Jamie Jones, Marlene Nash, Peter Batten, Libby Oldham, and Jenny Weaver.
"I'm really happy to be working with the re-elected councillors, and also with the new councillors," first-term councillor Rawson said.
"I've met most of the continuing councillors before, and they're all very decent people, so I'm sure that the newly formed council will be making some good decisions over the next few years."
The council will meet again in the new year on January 6, where members will then elect a mayor and deputy mayor for the region.
Delegates will also be elected to a list of organisations within the community, and residents will have the chance to meet the new councillors in the early new year.
"I'm looking forward to the getting into the new year so we can all get in there and start making a difference," Cr Pull said.
