Cr Drummond resigns from NS council – North Sydney Sun

Cr Drummond resigns from NS council

North Sydney councilor Alanya Drummond has resigned after five years’ service, as exclusively foreshadowed by North Sydney Sun in November.

Cr Drummond was elected in September 2017 and re‐elected in December 2021.

Cr Drummond served on the initial Steering Committee for the redevelopment of the North Sydney Olympic Pool and has been a strong supporter of sustainability initiatives, introducing notices of motion to introduce a textile recycling service and organic waste collection.
North Sydney Mayor Zoe Baker thanked Cr Drummond for her service. “On behalf of Council and the North Sydney community, I thank Cr Drummond for her service and wish both her and her family every happiness in the future.”

Council has formally notified the NSW Electoral Commissioner of the resignation. A Returning Officer will be appointed within 14 days and the process for a “countback election” will begin. It is expected that this process will be completed by the end of March 2023.

North Sydney Sun’s calculation is that the number two candidate on Cr Drummond’s St Leonards Ward ticket at the last poll – Neutral Bay cafe owner John Lepouris – will win in the countback. Cr Drummond told the Sun that she was planning to resign because of a personal relocation to Western Australia.
