Mayor Continues as Murray-Darling Association Region 9 Chair

25 Jun 2020 9:20 AM -

Leeton Shire Council endorsed Mayor Paul Maytom as the Murray-Darling Association (MDA) Region 9 Chair at its June Ordinary Meeting.

The MDA has long been a go-to organisation for state and federal government agencies seeking input from local government and local communities on issues affecting the Murray-Darling Basin.

There are 12 regions in the MDA and Leeton is a member of Region 9. The Regions are considered vital platforms for drawing on local knowledge and experience when engaging with government departments, specialist commissions or authorities such as the Murray-Darling Basin Authority.

Mayor Maytom has served as Chairman of Region 9 for nine years, and as Chair is a member of the MDA Board.

Mayor Maytom said he was honoured to continue as Chair of the MDA Region 9 for the remainder of this Council term ending September 2021.
