“As Cr Goodluck’s intended resignation date falls within the first 12 months of the current term, Council can decide by resolution whether to appoint the election runner up from the quadrennial election or hold a by-election to determine his replacement,” Mayor Burnett said.
“A decision will be made by Council at its General Meeting on Tuesday 18 February.”
Former Gladstone Region Councillor Chris Cameron, who served from 2020 to 2024, is the current runner up from the 2024 Councillor election as declared by Electoral Commission Queensland.
Councillor Goodluck was first elected to Gladstone Regional Council in 2016 and served the region as Deputy Mayor from 2020 to 2024.
