Councillors

The Council is a body of nine members who are elected for a four year term* to carry out duties under the provisions of the Local Government Act and Regulations. The Mayor is popularly elected every four years* and the Deputy Mayor is elected every two years by the members of the Council. The Mayor represents Council when it is not in session.

*The NSW Government determined that this term of Council will be shorter than usual due to the election being postponed for COVID safety. To realign the election cycle, this term of Council runs until September 2024.

The current Council was elected in December 2021 and held their first Council Meeting on 8 February 2022. The elected body is supported by a team of Council staff who are responsible for bringing the policies and changes into effect.
