Deputy Mayor to face court in June

The Gold Coast deputy Mayor is to face court in the middle of the year over his alleged failure to submit an electoral return declaring donations for the 2004 council poll.

In Southport Magistrates Court yesterday, David Power's solicitor asked that the matter be heard as soon as possible.

The Crown had sought an adjournment until the Supreme Court ruled on whether the matter was out of time.

It has been listed for hearing in June.
