East Gippsland Shire’s outgoing mayor, John White, is vying for another term in the council chambers.

Mr White, who was installed as mayor last year has led the nine-member council team through challenging times with drought, bushfires and COVID-19.

Mr White says he is seeking another term on council to complete unfinished business.

A resident of East Gippsland for most of his life, Mr White is a Lindenow South farmer.
