Mayor & councillors

Willoughby City Council has 13 councillors: a Mayor elected directly by voters (unlike most Sydney councils, where councillors choose the mayor), plus three councillors for each of four wards — Middle Harbour, Naremburn, Sailors Bay and West. 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. Every councillor and the Mayor were elected as Independent (no party or registered group) 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.
