New mayor
Labor Councillor Danny Said and Greens Councillor Philipa Veitch were tonight, Tuesday 24 September 2019, elected Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Randwick City.

Mayor Danny Said welcomed the position, and the Mayoral chains, by saying he would work hard for the residents of Randwick City.

“It is an incredible privilege to be given the opportunity to serve the people of Randwick as Mayor for the coming 12 months,” said Mayor Said. “I promise that I will do the best for Randwick and will ensure that Council continues to place our people at the forefront of all decision-making.

“We’re facing some significant challenges over the next 12 months that we will need to address as a Council, including the proposal to build a cruise ship terminal in Yarra Bay.”

Mayor Said is of Maltese descent and has lived in Randwick City for most of his life. He attended St Agnes Catholic Primary School in Matraville and Marist Brothers Pagewood (now known as Champagnat Catholic College), is a member of South Sydney Rabbitohs, a strong supporter of local surf clubs and has been a soccer coach.

Crs Danny Said and Philipa Veitch were elected to Randwick City Council in 2017. In 2018, Cr Said was voted as Deputy Mayor.
