The City of Cockburn has elected a new mayor, Logan Howlett, after the resignation of Stephen Lee two months ago prompted an extraordinary mayoral election.
Mr Howlett beat seven other candidates, including Mr Lee.
In January, Mr Lee stepped down as mayor after the Corruption and Crime Commission found he had failed to declare campaign donations.
Mr Howlett's profile on the City of Cockburn website said he stands for sustainable development, job creation, crime reduction and the provision of recreational facilities and services for all ages.
He will serve as mayor until the next council's general election, which is scheduled for October.
