Long-serving director and staff member of 33 years, Lindy Farrant handed the baton over to her colleague of many years and former second-in-charge.

"How good is it to stand here today to hand the baton over," Lindy said.
"I'm so delighted."
Colette thanked everyone for their support, including Lindy, Craig and Cr Keith.
