Cr Simon Tol was first elected to Pyrenees Shire Council in October 2024 after a long and successful career in construction, plumbing and leadership. Cr Tol has been self-employed his entire life, running several businesses and employing many staff over this time.
With a skill set he felt could contribute to a vibrant Pyrenees Shire, Cr Tol was prompted to run for election by a desire to help drive change and improve the liveability of this wonderful region.
He hopes being part of the new Councillor group will provide the catalyst for more advocacy and productivity that will see the Pyrenees go from strength to strength, fostering a sense of pride within the community.
Cr Tol lives in the Lexton area with his wife Kate. They have three adult children, William, Sophie and Harry, a son-in-law Caleb and a grandson Tom.
