1968 - 2014
Deputy Mayor
City of Launceston
The tragic death of Jeremy Ball has highlighted the degree to which Jeremy participated in the Launceston community. His family's loss cannot be healed but perhaps the expressions of gratitude from all corners of the community can help in the celebration of his contributions and achievements.
Coming to terms with losing a husband, father, son, brother and colleague can never be easy. Our sincere condolences are given to Karina, Griffin & Jasper, to his parents John & Caroline, and other family members, and to those he worked with at council and in the community.
Alderman Ball was first elected to Launceston City Council in 2007 at the age of 38.
As Deputy Mayor, he has served since 2011, and at the time of his death was a candidate in the forthcoming elections for these positions.
He grew up in Launceston, but his adult working life was spent interstate and overseas in Japan and Europe, before returning back home to Launceston in 2002.
As an Alderman and Deputy Mayor, Jeremy Ball has served on many diverse and broad ranging committees, including Strategic Planning and Policy Committee; General Manager's Contract and Performance Review Committee; Heritage Advisory Committee; Launceston Bike Committee, Street Tree Advisory Group; North Bank; Tas Water and the Tamar Region NRM Group.
He will be remembered by everyone who shares his legacies to Launceston.
