Wollongong Council’s Ward 3 is in good hands, with our very own David Hadon replacing Cr. Tiana Myers, who resigned recently due to ongoing health issues.
In under 10 minutes, the NSW Electoral Commission declared David the winner in the countback election.
‘I consider it a privilege to serve the community I’ve grown up in, there are a number of upcoming projects at council that I am looking forward to seeing complete: a new library and community centre at Warrawong, a new park in Horsley, and the long‑term revitalisation of Port Kembla.
As a member of our union it also gives me an opportunity to support more jobs at council and reject any policies that undermine our organisation.’
– David Hadon, USU Employee and Ward 3 Councillor at Wollongong City Council.
David has lived in Wollongong his entire life and has been one of our administration officers at our Wollongong office for the last few years. He recently completed his university studies at University of Wollongong and now, barely 12 months on, he’s begun a new chapter: advocating for his community.
Wollongong Lord Mayor Tania Brown has welcomed David to Council, saying ‘I’ve known David for a number of years, and he is a passionate individual who seeks to always do the best by his community. The residents of Ward 3, which includes Dapto, Windang and Cringila, will benefit from his energy and enthusiasm.’
Congratulations again, David – we can’t wait to see what you achieve on council!
