BAC cultural advice committee election result

PUBLIC NOTICE FROM THE RETURNING OFFICER

Shawn Boyle and Associates was engaged as the Returning Officer to oversee the Ballardong Aboriginal Corporation (BAC) Cultural Advice Committee Election for 2025.

On the 23rd July 2025, I forwarded to the Selections Committee of the BAC, member nominations for the advertised male and female positions on the Cultural Advice Committee.

I also authorised an extension of time to the nominations process, to allow nominees extra time to submit their National Police Clearances in view of unforeseen delays in the police processing system.

At the end of the Nomination Process, the remaining eligible nominations exactly filled the advertised positions of 3 male members and 2 female members, so I therefore declare the following as duly elected as members of the Ballardong Aboriginal Corporation Cultural Advice Committee in this 2025 election.  There is no requirement to proceed to a Ballot process.

Male elected members:

• Murray Yarran Jnr

• Dennis Kickett

• Michael Blurton

Female elected members:

• Geraldine Metcalf

• Kathleen Davis

This completes the 2025 CAC Election process, and I thank the officers of BAC for their assistance in ensuring an effective election process in accordance with the organisation’s rules.

Returning Officer
