Mayor Athina Pascoe-Bell

Elected: 2016

Athina moved to Palmerston in November 2004 with her husband, who was in the Defence Force at the time, and they bought their home in Marlow Lagoon just a few months after arriving. They have made Palmerston their home and decided this was the place to raise their family. Their children were born here and are now aged 10 and 13 years.

Athina has a 20-year career as a spatial science professional, 5 years in the private sector and 15 years in the public service in both NSW and the NT, where she gained invaluable knowledge on governance, procedures, policies and property planning.  She is also studying towards a Bachelor of Laws at CDU to equip herself with the legal knowledge that will benefit the community. 

She is focused on good decision making and quality outcomes and looks forward to working with the many and varied groups within our community.
