Your Elected Members
Council Elections were held in November 2022, when a Mayor and eight Councillors were elected for a four year term. Ms Ella Winnall is currently Mayor, a position she will hold until the next General Elections that will be held in November 2026.
Councillors serve the community by listening to diverse local voices and representing what is in the best interest of the whole community. As a council member, you work with other councillors to make decisions about how your council will address the needs of your community.
This includes:
* setting strategic objectives
* establishing priorities between competing demands
* deciding how to raise and allocate resources.
Typical tasks of a councillor include:
* making decisions at council meetings
* reading council agendas
* reviewing plans, policies and budgets
* talking with your community
* representing your council area at events like citizenship ceremonies. Councillors are not involved in the day-to-day running of the council. This is the responsibility of the council’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
