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. Party labels are those each councillor was elected under at the September 2024 election (NSW Electoral Commission). Cr Peter Ryan entered on a December 2024 countback (replacing Cr Tom Aczel) and is shown without a party label. A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
