Keith Andrew Fagg (born 30 September 1955) is an Australian businessman and served as the 94th Mayor of Geelong.
Fagg serves as a director of family-run business Fagg's Mitre 10 in Geelong.[1]
He was elected for a four-year term as Mayor of Geelong in the 2012 mayoral election, winning with a primary vote of 43%,[2] and was sworn in on 5 November 2012.[3]
This was the first time the office was selected by means of a direct election, following changes introduced by the Victorian Government in 2012.[4] Previous mayors of Geelong were elected by fellow members of the city council.
On 16 August 2013, Fagg announced his resignation from the position, citing unspecified health concerns.[5] It was later reported that Fagg had been suffering from stress.[6]
