Mayor & councillors

Nambucca Valley Council has nine councillors, including a Mayor elected directly by voters (a popular-vote mayor, rather than one chosen by fellow councillors). It is an undivided council — there are no wards, so every voter helps elect the whole council. Below is who currently holds office, with links to their official profiles and the September 2024 election results.

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) — here, seven Independents (including the Mayor and Deputy Mayor), one Greens and one Labor councillor. A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
