To my dear community of Tootgarook Ward and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.
I would like to thank you for showing out with your mighty vote and support for me during my election campaign. It is with a heavy heart to advise that I was not successful in the re-election to retain my seat for Tootgarook Ward.
After the preferences were sorted Cam Williams was declared elected as Councillor for Tootgarook Ward after the preference distribution. Antonella Celi 4633 /Cam Williams 4929 Total votes 9562.
I take this opportunity to thank the community for your support and the amazing opportunity to serve you over the 14 years I have been on Council.
My Council journey has been an adventurous quest in every sense of the word, that has seen the achievement and delivery of great projects on the southern Peninsula, to many to mention, but all were what the community wanted and I had the privilege to work with Council and community to get them delivered!
I have met and worked alongside people from all walks of life, the Councillors, highly professional Council CEO, Directors, staff, industry stakeholders, State and Federal politicians and community interest groups who have taught me so much about our community, it's issues, it's strengths, dreams and goals that have helped shape Council strategies, plans and policies.
I am blessed to be a part of the Mornington Peninsula community, so no doubt will see you around as I continue to be involved.
Thank you to my campaign team and my family for being such a stronghold during my election. Your support was much appreciated. Amazing people.
Congratulations to Cam Williams and the newly elected Councillors. Wishing you all the best for the 2024-2028 Council term.
Thank you once again community for your tremendous support over the many years and congratulations for all that we have achieved.
Signing off Antonella Celi aka former Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councillor - Mornington Peninsula Shire 2010-2024.
