Mayor & councillors

Oberon is an undivided (at-large) council: its nine councillors are elected across the whole local government area by proportional representation, rather than by ward. The councillors elect the Mayor and Deputy Mayor from among themselves — Oberon does not have a popularly elected mayor, and the NSW Electoral Commission ran no mayoral contest here in 2024. Cr Andrew McKibbin was elected Mayor at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 15 October 2024. Below is who currently holds office, with links to their official profiles and the September 2024 election 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) — seven of the nine councillors declared elected in 2024 carried an Independent (IND) group code; the NSWEC result shows no group code for Frank O'Connor, so his affiliation is left blank here rather than guessed, and Robert Lee took his seat through a 2025 countback election rather than at the ordinary election. Casual vacancies can change the makeup, so the council's official page has the most current list.
