Owen on track to win

Brett Owen looks to be on a firm track to retain his seat on the council holding almost 80 percent of the vote with a vast majority of the count done.

In Group A results revealed on Wednesday 30 October, Owen is on 77 percent of first preferences in Beacon Hills Ward with the majority of total votes already counted.

He sits on 5248 first preferences compared to his opponent Kylie Wagstaff who is on 1511 votes in the progressive tally.

Bunyip Ward is more of a close race with Alanna Pomeroy just ahead with 56 percent of the vote, 3365 first preference out of the 5987 votes counted in Group A – which also represents over a majority of votes counted.

Travis Parker is behind on 44 percent or 2622 votes, he may have his fingers crossed as the last votes being counted will decide the close race.

Progressive tallies of each ward will be revealed over the next week, full results are expected to be declared after Thursday 7 November.
