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.

We list who's in office and link to their official profiles and the election results; we don't characterise anyone's politics. Labels are those each councillor was elected under at the September 2024 election (NSW Electoral Commission): 'Greens' and 'Labor' are registered parties, while the names in brackets ('Team Nikki', 'Team Moose', 'Better Coffs Coast') are the independent group tickets each ran on. A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
