Adelaide Hills Mayor Jan-Claire Wisdom has stepped down.
The Adelaide Hills Council has announced the news this morning in a statement, saying she retired from the role, effective 6pm yesterday, the 23rd of September.
Deputy Mayor Nathan Daniell has acknowledged recent turbulence within the chamber, partly due to breaches of behavioural standards by the Mayor that councillors were required to address.
“Despite this, I would like to publicly thank the former Mayor for her contribution to this organisation and the wider community,” Deputy Mayor Daniell said.
“With three new councillors joining the elected body imminently, now is an opportunity for a fresh start and to put the turbulent times behind us.”
A supplementary election will now be held to fill the mayoral vacancy, with details to be confirmed by the Electoral Commission of South Australia.
