Candidates line up for poll
FORMER councillor Gaye Taylor has nominated for the Mareeba Shire by-election next month.
Ms Taylor is well-known across the shire, having served a term as councillor under former Mayor Mick Borzi from 2004-2008.
She also served from 2012 until the de-amalgamation election in March 2013 when she was unsuccessful.
Ms Taylor will be vying to get the job from other candidates, Mladen Bosnic and Carole Chong, who have also nominated for the 5 April poll.
Mr Bosnic came seventh at the 2024 election and could have been offered the position of councillor when Cr Kevin Davies passed away leaving a vacancy on the council. But council opted for the by-election instead.
A member of the Muluridji tribe, Carol Chong has also nominated for the poll. Ms Chong’s daughter Shaquille contested the 2024 poll for council but was unsuccessful.
