A little piece of Temora Shire history was made at last year’s election.
Since it’s formation in 1981, Temora Shire Council has been fairly male dominated with highest number of Women elected as Councillors standing at two.
However there are now three women on the council with Cr Claire McLaren, Cr Lindy Reinhold and Cr Belinda Bushell being elected..
They join a council which includes Cr Rick Firman OAM (Mayor), Cr Graham Sinclair (Deputy Mayor), Cr Nigel Judd OAM, Cr Max Oliver, Cr Jason Goode and Cr Anthony Irvine.
Cr Judd, is one of the longest servicing councillors in NSW having first been elected in 1977 (with the former Narraburra Shire Council) and serving as Mayor of Temora Shire from 2000-2006.
Temora Shire in South West NSW has a growing population of 6,300 and is in the NSW Electorate of Cootamundra and Federal Electorate of Riverina.
