Cessnock councillor Rosa Grine resigned due to bankruptcy from a $600K debt, triggering a countback election.
Cessnock City Council Ward D councillor Rosa Grine resigned on September 22 after five years, citing increased work demands.
She is an undischarged bankrupt following a NSW District Court ruling requiring her to repay nearly $600,000—$593,666 plus $335,381 in interest—to former employee Bridget Kempe over a loan she claimed was a gift.
The debt stemmed from a 2018 business expansion for her Kurri Kurri restaurant, Happi Chicken.
Under the Corporations Act 2001, bankruptcy disqualifies individuals from holding civic office, though no resignation reason is required to be disclosed.
Grine expressed pride in serving the community where she has lived for 40 years.
The council has requested a countback election to fill the vacancy, expected by early November, avoiding a new public vote.
