Carmine Di Troia elected Area Councillor

Mr Carmine Di Troia has been successfully declared as the newest councillor of Adelaide Plains Council.

Following the resignation of former councillor John Lush in early October 2023, a casual vacancy was created. Being still within 12 months of the periodic election, the Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA) conducted a recount of the votes cast at the November 2022 periodic election.

Four out of the six candidates who were unsuccessful in the November 2022 election advised they were willing to fulfill the vacancy.

Mr Di Troia achieved the highest number of votes in the recount and was provisionally declared elected on Wednesday 1 November 2023, with the Retuning Officer at ECSA making the formal declaration on Monday 6 November 2023.

On behalf of Council, I am pleased to welcome Mr Di Troia back to the chamber and I congratulate him on his election result. Carmine has previously served as an elected member and is an enthusiastic advocate for the community. I look forward to working with him again in shaping our region over the coming years.

Mr Di Troia will be officially sworn in as an elected member at the 27 November 2023 ordinary meeting of Council.
