The Liberal National Party has seen Doboy Ward Councillor Ryan Murphy, replace Mayor Adrian Schrinner in his former ward of Chandler, giving their party a safe 24 per cent margin ahead of the March 2020 council election.

Murphy’s move will force the LNP party to change its own committees yet again, after spending hours in last week's council meeting debating which councillors would sit on which committee.

Murphy says the lord mayor has left big shoes to fill but can assure the people of Chandler he will do his best to continue his tradition of excellent representation of the area.
