It is with great sadness that the City of Albany acknowledges the passing of our loved, respected and very valued colleague, Councillor Alison Goode.
Alison has served her community for over 20 years as an elected member, and her love for Albany was at the forefront of her longstanding commitment to public service.
Alison’s steadfastness, wit and sharp sense of humour fostered many friendships and strong working relationships within local government and the wider community.
As the second woman to be elected to the Shire of Albany, she was the inaugural Mayor of the City of Albany.
You will be challenged to find a more passionate, dedicated and devoted local government representative than Alison Goode.
Not having her expertise, advice, opinion and listening ear will be an adjustment for myself and for council, as we mourn her loss and remember her as the strong, passionate lady she was.
As irreplaceable as she is loved, Alison will be deeply missed by council, and community.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with her loving and devoted husband Gerry and their family.
