Mayor & councillors

Lismore City Council has 11 members: a Mayor elected directly by voters (unlike most NSW councils, where councillors choose the mayor), plus 10 councillors. The council is undivided — there are no wards, so every councillor represents the whole local government area. Below is who was elected at the September 2024 election, with links to their official profiles and the results.

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. Party labels are those each councillor was elected under at the September 2024 election (NSW Electoral Commission), which recorded Mayor Krieg and five councillors (Hall, Gordon, Jensen, Bing, Battista) as elected on the 'Steve Krieg for Lismore' group ticket, Big Rob as an independent, plus two Greens and two Labor councillors. A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
