Elections in Braybrook Shire Two Ridings Contests
Braybrook Shire votes in two ridings with two unopposed newcomers. N Green for Southern Riding and J A McDonald for River Riding secure seats, while Central Riding sees John Downing versus Danny McLachlan for Dr F Hayden’s vacated seat and Western Riding pits J W Castley against Dr M B Lynch. Drayton’s failure to nominate leaves three retiring councillors not seeking re election. Green and McDonald are noted as young and set for council as the Shire nears major development. Green has sports association ties in Sunshine. McDonald is a Labor representative active in Maribyrnong groups.
