Elected Members

Local Government Elections occur every four years. The next election will be in 2026.

They provide leadership and guidance to the community and facilitate communication between the community and the Council. They also participate in Local Government’s decision-making processes at Council and Committee Meetings.

Councillors also perform a number of other functions outlined under the Local Government Act 1993 or any other laws and policies.
