Councillor Sue Whitington has resigned from her position as Elected Member for the West Norwood/Kent Town Ward at the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters after more than 25 years of continuous service to our community.
First elected in May 2000, Cr Whitington served on numerous Council committees and almost 25 consecutive years on the Eastern Health Authority Board—a position she stepped down from earlier this year when electing not to renominate.
Mayor Robert Bria, who has served alongside Cr Whitington throughout her time as an Elected Member, paid tribute to a person he considers to be "a dear friend, valued colleague and passionate representative".
"Cr Whitington has served her local constituents and our community with integrity and passion for more than a quarter of a century.
"With a sustained commitment to representing the public health interests of ratepayers and residents, Cr Whitington has also been an ardent supporter of the Council's cultural heritage and public art programs and an advocate for improving local amenities such as parks, footpaths, roads, libraries and swimming pools.
"I am grateful for the broad and valued contributions Cr Whitington has made to ensure our City is the best place to live, work and visit, and will continue to be inspired by her tenacity, authenticity and passion.
"Representing your community as an Elected Member is a significant commitment and responsibility, so after 25 years, I wish her and Peter all the best for the next chapter in their lives."
On behalf of the Elected Members and staff, Mayor Bria congratulates Cr Whitington on 25 years of service to our community.
