Mayor & councillors
Loddon Shire has five wards — Boort, Inglewood, Tarnagulla, Terrick and Wedderburn — each electing one councillor at the four-yearly Victorian council elections (last held in October 2024, after a 2024 review adjusted the ward boundaries). The councillors elect the Mayor from among themselves.

Victorian council ballot papers and results don't show party affiliation, so we don't label councillors. We list who is in office and link to their official profiles and the election results. The council's Councillors page also lists a mobile number for each councillor. The Victorian Electoral Commission's council page lists the same five councillors (checked September 2026; it gives Cr Holt's full name as Gavan Lindsay Holt). A council's makeup can change between elections, so the official pages have the most current list.
