GREENS mayoral candidate Sharon Prior is hoping her anti-dump stance will win the support of Sorell voters in a by-election later this month.
Ms Prior, 53, today said she believed the council could reverse its decision to approve a planning permit for the controversial contaminated waste cell at the Copping landfill.
"I believe that the whole process was flawed from the beginning," Ms Prior said.
She said the Liberal and Labor parties made their position on the project clear by refusing to back a Greens motion in Parliament on Wednesday. The motion asked that the matter be reviewed by the Environment, Resources and Development Committee.
The two parties accused the Greens of attempting to undermine development approval processes and the Environmental Protection Authority, which assessed the Southern Waste Solutions project.
The Sorell by-election comes after long-serving mayor Carmel Torenius quit amid bitter divisions over council mergers and new $4.5 million council chambers.
Ms Prior has lived in the area for 40 years and was a Sorell councillor from 2002 to 2007. She works as a tour guide and team leader for a conservation group.
The other mayoral candidates are incumbent councillors Kerry Degrassi and Kerry Vincent, as well as local identity John the Duke of Avram.
Candidates for councillor are Rob Leach, John the Duke of Avram, Judy Young and Ms Prior.
Postal ballot packs for the by-election will be delivered between Tuesday and Wednesday next week, with the poll closing on November 6.
