14.01.2022 I am pleased to advise the VEC formally declared the result of the Hepburn shire Council election today. In Coliban ward the result was Brian Hood 1002 votes (52.46%), Licia Kokocinski 551 votes (28.85%) and Ethan Brown 357 votes (18.69%). I look forward to the challenges and representing the people of Coliban ward. Only one of the previous councillors was re-elected so Hepburn Shire effectively has a new team. I extend my appreciation to those who supported and encouraged me and will work hard to represent our community.
