George Town Councillor Simone Lowe

20/09/2026

I have renominated to run for Council in the upcoming election. I am advising with as much notice as possible that I may not be at the George Town meet the Councilliors session due to work comitmentments that are unlikly to be able to be changed. I will however prioritise the Hillwood session that falls on the Saturday. :)

💚 Yesterday was an amazing and purposeful day 💙

I attended the Annual Children's Voices Leadership Summit with children from Port Dalrymple School and St Leonards Primary who came together to represent their schools and give a child's voice to questions Councillors had prepared. I had the opportunity to work alongside Councillor Susie Cai, An Independent Voice For Launceston and Hugh McKenzie Councillor Launceston City Council

Fairy bread, ham and cheese sandwiches, new friends, basketball, bean bags and lots of creative, inspiring and collaborative ideas on current local government issues 🥪🏀

The Local Government Professional Development and Networking weekend has inspired me to enhance my use of social media, complementing face-to-face interactions. My goal is to provide information on community events and activities, update on Council business, and receive feedback and recommendations from the community.

Here I am with Councillor Greg Dawson and other elected members from across Tasmania after our session on meeting procedures in local government. This session highlighted how councillors can be more effective meeting participants. In particular, I gained a better understanding of how to effectively use a foreshadow motion, the importance of ensuring motions get on the table for debate, and the exceptions related to pecuniary conflict provisions.

Additionally I also made new connections with Flinders Island Council Mayor Rachel Summers, Tasman Council Mayor Rod Macdonald and Brighton Council Mayor Leigh Gray. They were very generous with their time, knowledge and insight :)
