New Councillors to be sworn in
Two new City of South Perth Councillors will be sworn in on Thursday 9 July.
Gavin Denton and Bronwyn David will represent the Mill Point ward following the resignations of former councillors Tim Houweling and Jacqueline Raison. As the next-placed candidates in the 2025 Local Government election where Mr Houweling and Ms Raison were elected, Mr Denton and Ms David are eligible to backfill the vacancies and have accepted the positions. Mr Denton will be appointed for a term ending in October 2029 and Ms David’s term will end in October 2027.
A by-election will be held in September 2026 to fill the additional vacant positions on Council representing the Moresby ward and Como ward, previously held by former councillors Hayley Prendiville and Bronwyn Waugh, who have also resigned.
The City of South Perth thanks the departing councillors for their service and looks forward to welcoming Ms David and Mr Denton to Council. Details for candidates interested in nominating to run in the by-election will be made available at a later date.
The City will continue to deliver services and maintain normal operations during this transition.
