Dunedin welcomes in new mayor

Dave Cull is the incoming mayor, replacing Peter Chin who misses out on a third term and was not standing as a Councillor.

Also missing from the Council table will be long standing Councillor and one time mayor Richard Walls, and Michael Guest.

Incoming councillors include former DHB chair Richard Thomson, former city councillor and mayoral hopeful Lee Vandervis and local film maker Jinty Mctavish.

Mayor Cull's confident the new council will work, "My style is to be inclusive, I think we have a lot of challenges ahead of us and I'll expect the council to pull together as a team to confront those."
