Mayor & councillors

Shoalhaven has a directly elected Mayor plus 12 councillors — four for each of the three wards. Below is who currently holds office, with links to their official profiles and the 2024 election results. Several councillors joined mid-term via casual-vacancy countbacks (a recount of the 2024 votes), so they don't appear in the original NSWEC elected-results list.

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); 'Shoalhaven Independents Group' is a registered group of independents. Councillors shown without a label joined mid-term via countback and aren't in the original elected-results list. The council's official page has the most current roster.
