From barber to councillor in five hours - do you think he's got what it takes?
Hi neighbours - at 9am the day election nominations closed, 19-year-old barber Stacey Rose threw his hat into the ring and by 2pm, he was a councillor.
He said he is ready to seize the opportunity and be an example that youth can make great councillors. He believes in representing young people in the region who feel like they haven't been represented before.
Do you think he's got what it takes to respond to issues we are facing as communities? Are younger councillors the way of the future?
