She will join Councillors Nicole Lockwood, Harry Hipworth, Des Rothe, Fay Cechner and Evette Smeathers representing the Karratha Ward, her term expires October 2013.
Roebourne Shire Council president Nicole Lockwood thanked both candidates for their ongoing commitment and passion to building a brighter future for all Shire of Roebourne residents.

“I believe Jo will be a strong, new voice for the Karratha Ward and Council is excited to welcome her onboard.”
Mrs Pritchard has lived in Karratha for 22 years and was a driving force in the establishment of the Karratha Community Association, current President of Soroptimist International Karratha and Districts, and a member of the Shire of Roebourne’s litter committee C.A.R.E.
