Only two lower Hunter councils went to the polls today for local government elections, due to pending amalgamations.
In Lake Macquarie, outgoing Mayor Jodie Harrison was lending her support to local Labor candidates.
After eight years on council, Ms Harrison couldn’t contest this election due to her position as state Member for Charlestown.
“It’s certainly a moment of choice for people of Lake Macquarie. There’s been, certainly over the last number of years, some really good work done in Lake Macquarie and it’s important that stability continues,” said Ms Harrison.
