BULOKE Mayor Daryl Warren will host the Queenscliffe mayor for dinner after losing a vaccination rate challenge.
The race between two councils to reach 80 per cent fully vaccinated ended on Monday, with the Borough of Queenscliffe reaching 80 per cent of residents receiving both doses.
Cr Warren will treat Queenscliffe Mayor Ross Ebbels to a meal and a night’s accommodation in the coming months.
Both mayors said that while the challenge they’d made was with each other, the real champions of the competition were the residents of Buloke Shire and the Borough of Queenscliffe.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the residents who answered our call and stepped forward to get vaccinated over the past few weeks,” Cr Warren said.
“Regardless of who gets there first, getting vaccinated helps us win the race that really matters – protecting ourselves and each other from coronavirus.”
