Elected Member Resignation

While we respect Cr Pascale's decision to step down, we totally disagree with her assertions.

Through our passionate and dedicated staff, we will continue to provide the same high -quality level of service and proactive maintenance to Rostrevor and Woodforde as we do to all of our townships and communities.

We will also continue to represent all ratepayers in opposing the Campbelltown City Council's attempt to seize 738 Adelaide Hills Council properties, which is unjustified and without merit -- Councillor Pauline Gill subsequently tendered her resignation this morning, effective immediately.

We thank her for her service to her community since her election in 2018 and wish her the best for the future.

However, we strongly and categorically disagree with the assertions put forward in her resignation.

As an organisation, we take a zero -tolerance approach to bullying and harassment.

All of our Elected Members are held to the same behavioural standards and are provided with a number of support and reporting options should they feel those standards are in breach.

Quotes attributable to CEO Greg Georgopoulos.

Given both Councillors have resigned more than 12 months from the next Council elections in November 2026, we are required to hold supplementary elections in both the Ranges Ward and Valley Ward as soon as practicable. Previous experience suggests that the staging of these supplementary elections will come at an estimated additional cost to ratepayers of at least $50,000.

In the meantime, the Adelaide Hills community can be assured that our dedicated staff remain focused on delivering high -quality services and support.
