Voters don't elect the Mayor directly. The councillors choose one of themselves for a 12-month term. The next mayoral election is at a Council Meeting on Tuesday 24 November 2026.

Your representatives

Want to raise something? Contacting your ward councillor or the mayor is one of the most direct ways to be heard between elections.

Victorian council ballot papers and results don't show party affiliation, so we don't label councillors. We list who holds office, with the council email addresses shown on their official profiles, and link to the election results. If a seat falls vacant, Brimbank's single-councillor wards fill it by a by-election, not a countback, as long as more than 6 months of the term remain. For the latest list, see the council's page or the VEC.
