They were elected in October 2024 for the 2024–2028 term. Voters don't elect the Mayor directly: the councillors choose the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, for a one- or two-year term. The current Mayor and Deputy Mayor were elected in October 2025 for one year.

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.

Victorian council ballot papers and results don't show party affiliation, so we don't label councillors. We list who holds office, with their council email addresses, and link to the council's councillor page and the election results. If a seat falls vacant, Moonee Valley's single-councillor wards fill it by a by-election, not a countback, as long as more than 6 months of the term remain. For the latest list, see the council's page or the VEC.
