A New Chapter for the Shire of Coolgardie

Published on Tuesday, 21 October 2025 at 6:12:08 PM

Tonight marked an important milestone for the Shire of Coolgardie, as Mrs Sue Schoch JP officiated the Swearing-In Ceremony for our newly elected Councillors. During the ceremony, each Councillor formally made their Declaration of Office in accordance with the Local Government Act 1995.

Following the ceremony, a Special Council Meeting was facilitated with the first item of business to elect a Shire President and Deputy Shire President.

We're excited to announce Council voted to welcome Cr Paul Wilcox as it’s new Shire President and Cr Tony Ball as it’s new Deputy Shire President.
Congratulations to both!

We extend a warm welcome to all our newly elected Council and look forward to working together. We also wish to thank the outgoing elected members for their service.

Community members are encouraged to stay engaged and learn more about local decision-making. You can find upcoming Council meeting dates and agendas by visiting 🔗 www.coolgardie.wa.gov.au/council-meetings
