Mayor & councillors

Tamworth Regional Council has nine councillors, elected across a single undivided area (no wards) by proportional representation. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor are chosen by the councillors from among themselves — not directly by voters. 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). A council's makeup can change between elections through casual vacancies, so the council's official page has the most current list.
