In a shock development on Thursday afternoon, it has been announced that Councillor Tanya Lynch has resigned from Livingstone Shire Council.
Her resignation could mean Rhodes Watson, who was the council candidate with the next highest amount of votes at the 2020 Local Government Election, could be elected.
But that depends on whether LSC opts to take that option, or go to a by-election.
In a council-released statement, Mayor Andy Ireland paid tribute to Cr Lynch’s passion for, and service to, the community of Livingstone Shire, particularly her advocacy for the tourism and business sectors following the impact of COVID-19.
If I m offered the position, I will take it, Mr Watson told

She secured 8.19 per cent of the vote at the 2020 election to seal the final spot at the council table, just ahead of Mr Watson with 8.07 per cent. In a statement released on Thursday afternoon, the council explained the process from here. The process of filling the councillor vacancy is prescribed at law and councillors will meet next week to decide to either proceed with a by-election or, have the Electoral Commission of Queensland administer a process of reaching out to the runner-up from the last election to determine if they would accept appointment, the council said.
