Mayor & councillors

Strathbogie Shire is unsubdivided: there are no wards, and all seven councillors are elected by the whole shire, by proportional representation, at the four-yearly Victorian council elections (last held in October 2024). The councillors elect the Mayor and Deputy Mayor from among themselves; the current Mayor and Deputy Mayor were elected on 18 November 2025, and the council says the Mayor serves for the next 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 Mayor and Councillors page (which also has each councillor's phone number and a short biography) and to the election results. The council's page and the VEC's current-councillor list name the same seven people. Because the council is unsubdivided, a vacancy is normally filled by a countback of the last election's votes rather than a by-election. For the latest list, see the council's page or the VEC.
