Nedlands Council Faces Dissolution After Resignation of Four Councillors

Local Government Minister Hannah Beazley plans to dissolve the Nedlands council after four councillors resigned on Monday. Beazley highlighted the council's history of dysfunction and disunity, emphasizing the need for improvement. She urged the affected councillors to reflect on their behavior and service to the community.

The resignations of Ben Hodson, Noel Youngman, Fergus Bennett, and Hengameh Amiry left the council without a quorum, prompting Beazley's intervention. Nedlands Mayor Fiona Argyle expressed relief at the resignations, criticizing other councillors for their actions and defending the council's decisions regarding a children's hospice and play area.
