Vale Mayor Lilliane Brady
Cobar Shire Council 11 Feb 2021

Cobar Shire is this week mourning the loss of local government icon Mayor Lilliane Brady, who passed away Sunday morning, aged 90.

Mayor Brady was a trailblazer for women in politics and in the bush, having served as Mayor of Cobar Shire for more than 20 years during her 40-year-rein in Local Government. In 2020 she was bestowed with the title of NSW's longest-serving female mayor.

A State funeral has been planned in Cobar for Friday, February 19. More than 150 Council employees will form a guard of honour as a final tribute to Mayor Brady.
