Councillor Liz Martin (pictured), the driving force behind the hugely successful National Transport Hall of Fame, has resigned from the town council.
This means her vacancy can be filled in the October 10 by-election already declared to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councillor Kylie Bonanni.
Council CEO Rex Mooney says Cr Martin’s letter of resignation is effective immediately.
“She has been on a leave of absence since April this year, however has chosen to formally step down in light of the forthcoming by-election.”
Mayor Damien Ryan says: “Cr Martin has been an enthusiastic and engaged elected member since first being elected to Council in March 2008.
“I thank her for her time served as Deputy Mayor and for her active work in the community; I wish her all the best in her future endeavours.”

All the best, Liz. And thanks, not just for your time spent as a councillor but for giving Alice the National Transport Hall of Fame. I predict your work out there will stand the test of time.
You have served Alice Springs greatly.
Alice Springs is in debt for your services and just wish there more people like you in our community.
You are the rock of the National Transport Hall of Fame.
All the best for your future Liz. You can be very proud of all you have achieved in Central OZ particularly on council and developing and promoting the NTHF. Time now for you to contemplate and enjoy the next challenges in your life journey. Grateful thanks from us all.
