Mr Evans advised of his intention to formally resign from his position as Councillor at the December 2017 Council meeting, where Mayor, Cr McRae thanked Mr Evans for his commitment to Murrumbidgee Council.
Mr Evans was lauded for his contributions as Council’s Administrator and more recently as an elected Councillor.
“I would like to thank Cr Evans for his contribution to Murrumbidgee Council,” Cr McRae said.
“I wish him well in the next phase of his political career and I hope the experience will be challenging and productive.”
Cr Evans was elected to the Murrumbidgee Shire Council in 2012 before becoming the Deputy Mayor of the Shire in 2013 and Mayor in 2014.
He was elected as the Member for Murray at a by-election last year after the retirement of long-serving member Adrian Piccoli.
