Wayne Stevenson has been elected to the Waihī Beach Community Board.
Wayne received 831 votes, ahead of Don Ryan, following voting closing at midday on Saturday November 18.
"33 per cent of eligible voters returned their ballots either by post, or by dropping their sealed ballots off to council offices in the district," says a Western Bay of Plenty District Council spokesperson.
Wayne will be sworn into the role at the council's next meeting on December 14, 2023, and will join current Community Board members Dani Simpson, Heather Marie Guptill and Ross Goudie.
Mayor James Denyer thanks the community for participating in the by-election and congratulated Wayne on his win.
“We look forward to welcoming Wayne into our team of elected members and fostering strong connections with him as he serves the community, and Community Board, this term," says Mayor Denyer.

Whats an election ?
You mean, what they heck, there are elections still ?
You mean they can have a say on what happens.
How did they afford it, man our guys told us we couldn't afford elections as we are so small an area. Waihi must have heaps of money and population to afford that.
Poor Tauranga just isn't big enough and are too dumb to have a say it seems.
