One of the positives to come out of the LCZ travesty is that good people were mobilised to investigate what it takes to run an effective, sustainable and people oriented municipality, for the people. Whether it’s public open spaces and facilities, roads, parking, fiscal responsibility, disaster resilience, water quality, rural services, accessibility, planning, small business or more these KLUB members are looking to make a difference. We wish them well in the election. If you haven’t posted your ballot envelope yet, we highly recommend that you get to it today or better still drop it into the Council chambers tomorrow so that you know you won’t miss the cut-off date and your vote will count. Vote for change this election. Thank you Tamieka Adkins Independent Candidate for Kingborough Councillor Nick Booth for Kingborough Council Kim Phillips - Candidate for Councillor and Mayor of Kingborough and Will Perry - Candidate for Councillor and Deputy Mayor of Kingborough for choosing to represent your community!

There’s been a lot of talk about the potential for Kingborough to be selected as a location for a data centre. It has been an election issue. Here is an interesting position that seems to have legal substance. Have you put much thought into it? What do you want KLUB to do in this space?

Vote in a way that ensures your preference is counted.
Last council election in Kingborough saw votes being counted to 7th choice before any candidates were excluded. For this reason we encourage you to number every candidate to ensure your preference of candidates count. See last election count in the comments or at

📢 Council Meeting Schedule Changes

Please note the following changes to Council meeting dates in October and November:

🗓️ To ensure appropriate Councillor representation and that a quorum can be achieved, the meeting scheduled for 19 October has been postponed. The meeting will now be held on 26 October, commencing at 5.30pm.

🗓️ The Council meeting scheduled for 2 November 2026 has been cancelled due to the local government election process and the requirement for newly elected councillors to make their Declaration of Office.

✅ The remainder of the 2026 Council meeting schedule remains unchanged.

Public Notice of these changes will also be published in The Mercury and the Kingborough Chronicle.

BEWARE your ballot pack may not be correct. Here’s an example of someone being sent 2 councillor slips (note the order must rotate between mail outs) and in one of the comments someone was missing the deputy mayor slip. What if this person wasn’t honest? What if this person didn’t say a thing and voted twice? Is this another bureaucratic bungle?🤦‍♀️
