Leigh Gray elected as LGAT Vice President

At the most recent General Management Committee (GMC) meeting, Mayor Leigh Gray was elected as Vice President of the Local Government Association of Tasmania (LGAT). He replaces former Vice President Paula Wriedt following her departure from local government in May. The Vice President is elected by other members of the GMC.

Mayor Gray has served the Brighton community since 2005 and was elected as mayor in 2021. He is also on the Board of TasWaste South.

LGAT President Mick Tucker welcomed the appointment, noting that Mayor Gray brings significant experience and a strong commitment to representing the sector.

The GMC provides strategic direction for LGAT and consists of the President, the Lord Mayor and six elected members who represent the three electoral districts.

Paula Wriedt's resignation also creates a vacancy for a Southern Region representative on the GMC. A by-election will be called in accordance with the Rules of the Association.
