So, what changes are happening in  candidates/Councillors in Ward 4 and 5 that covers Mount Druitt and surrounding suburbs?

Clr Charlie Lowles OAM

Clr. Edmond Atalla

Well we have 2 retirement of Councillors: Ward 4 Councillor Edmond Atalla, now current NSW State MP since 2015, elected  as a Councillor since 2004 and retiring and Deputy Mayor 2006-7 and Ward 5 Councillor Charlie Lowles, with over 26 years of being an elected member  of Council.

This will leave Mayor Councillor Stephen Bali with the strongest chance to win the from Ward 4, 1st elected candidate and the same with Tony Bleasedale in Ward 5 (who'll jump up to number on the Australian Labor Party ticket)

Deputy Mayor, Councillor Jacqueline Donaldson, will be swapping her nomination as candidate to from Ward 5 to Ward 4, this time running as an Independent. I understand that most of the Blacktown City Council constituents Councillor Donaldson. meet are mainly living on Ward 4. This will leave a big gaping hole in Ward 5 as the former Liberal Candidate Councillor Donaldson had  pick up a dramatic  swing swing to wards her at last Council election in 2012, a new incumbent  Liberal candidate may find it hard to maintain votes.

We don't know if Councillor Isabelle White will re run as a candidate in Ward 4. If she does,  we will advise the community , so most definitely there will be 3 new faces on Council from Ward 4 & 5 after the  Council elections after 10th September 2016.  

We will keep you posted as soon as  nominations have closed and then we will seek  each candidates 'whyilovemountdruitt', to help you consider who you will vote for.
