Cr Georgina Oxley has been re-elected as Mayor of the City of Kingston for 2025–26, marking her fourth term leading the city.
Cr Oxley said she was honoured to again have the opportunity to serve the Kingston community and thanked her fellow councillors for their support.
"It's a real privilege to once again serve as Mayor of Kingston," Cr Oxley said.
"Over the past year, we've worked hard as a team to lay the foundations for Kingston's future – adopting a new Council and Wellbeing Plan, putting cost-of-living support at the heart of our budget, and delivering a huge range of projects that make a real difference in people's lives."
Cr Oxley said the past year had also been a time of collaboration and renewal following significant change to the make-up of Council at last year's election.
"It's been a year of learning, teamwork and listening," she said. "I'm proud of how this Council has come together with a shared focus on serving our community and shaping a positive future for Kingston."
She said she was looking forward to continuing Kingston's strong advocacy on key local issues.
"We'll keep standing up for our community on major issues like the State's new planning reforms, the Suburban Rail Loop, level crossing projects and significant development proposals such as Kingswood and Rossdale," Cr Oxley said.
"Our community deserves a voice in how their neighbourhoods grow and change, and I'll continue to ensure that Kingston's voice is heard loud and clear."
Cr Oxley said the best parts of being mayor was engaging with the community.
"I've had the privilege of attending hundreds of community events over the past year – from festivals and awards nights to school and sporting celebrations," she said.
"Every event reminds me how lucky we are to live in such a vibrant, caring and connected city. I'm incredibly proud to represent such a wonderful community."
