Your council

The elected council is made up of 10 councillors and the Mayor.  The Mayor is elected by popular vote for a four year term.  

Under the Local Government Act 1993, councillors have a responsibility to:

• Participate in the allocation of council's budget
• Play a key role in the review and creation of Council policies and objectives
• Review council's performance of service delivery to the community

Councillors represent the interests of residents and ratepayers and facilitate communication between the community and council.

Councillors are required to adhere to a code of conduct and council has adopted the model code as set down by the Department of Infrastructure and Planning.
