Mr Trenorden said he had received strong, positive support from locals after he announced he would run as an independent.

Mr Trenorden won seven elections in a row during his time in parliament and has been an active member of the Wheatbelt region working from his office in Northam.

President of the Safer Northam Committee Brian Webb said Mr Trenorden had supported the committee over the last five years.

‘We thank Max for his support and encouragement in activities undertaken by the committee during this period,’ he said.
