Cr Gault was elected by fellow councillors at the Council meeting on Monday, November 17. He has represented Glenferrie Ward since October 2020 and has served as Deputy Mayor.
“I’m honoured to serve as mayor and thank my fellow councillors for their confidence in my leadership,” Cr Gault said.
“Together, we’ll keep delivering on what matters for the communities we represent.”
“As a group, we’re committed to working tirelessly to manage any negative impacts of the state government’s Activity Centre Program and its densification aims.
“New housing needs to respect and enhance the characteristics that make Boroondara a spectacular place to live, work, and play.
“We’ll oversee planning for revitalised shopping strips and drive new climate action initiatives, such as reducing CO2 emissions, improved tree canopy and more connected walking and cycling paths. My councillor colleagues and I are also keen to see the progress of key capital projects.
