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. At the September 2024 election the NSW Electoral Commission recorded six councillors as Independent (Ring, Ticehurst, Statham, Goodwin, Fredericks, Evangelidis); three — Cass Coleman, Eric Mahony and Ray Smith — were recorded without a party or independent designation, so we leave their affiliation blank. A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
