Invercargill City Councillor Rebecca Amundsen is now officially the city's new deputy mayor.

Mayor Tim Shadbolt announced Councillor Amundsen as his nominee at the Invercargill City Council's meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

The council quickly accepted the proposal, passing it almost unanimously.

Councillor Lindsay Abbott was the only councillor to openly question the decision, asking if it could be discussed, then abstaining from the process.
